Central Information Commission Disposes 768 Appeals Amid Portal Upgrade in August
The Central Information Commission (CIC) clarified that it disposed of 768 appeals between August 1 and 12, 2026, contrary to media reports stating only three disposals. The discrepancy is due to ongoing upgradation of the Second Appeals and Complaints Portal, which has delayed automatic data updates on the commission's website. Despite the portal work, hearings have continued normally, and decisions are being sent to parties by post. The upgraded portal is expected to launch on August 17, aiming to improve user experience and data availability.
