Babu submits PIL against ACB action

Hyderabad, Feb. 26: The senior bureaucrat, Mr Shafiquzzaman, has filed a writ petition in the AP High Court seeking the list of IAS officers against whom the Anti-Corruption Bureau had sought action. Mr Shafiquzzaman, who is the managing director of the AP Warehousing Corporation, also sought to know names of IAS officers against whom the government dropped action despite the ACB recommendation.
He told the HC that he submitted an application on April 26, 2007, to the PIO of the general administration department requesting the names. However, the GAD did not furnish the information. Following this, Mr Shaiquzzaman appealed to the information commissioner, and officials agreed to submit the information during the hearing on September 29, 2007. But the promise was not kept. He urged the court to direct the commissioner to take action against the concerned officials. The petition is expected to come up for hearing on Wednesday
