[HumJanenge] What clinched the Govt's decision to exempt CBI under Sec 24 ?

I had file a RTI application with DoPT (quite some time back) 
seeking copies of complete file related to the exemption sought 
by CBI, under Sec 24. 
The information provided by CPIO was that file not available.

On a visit to Delhi, I got a chance to inspect the complete file (along with Mr Sarbajit).
It seems that the final clincher was the '"opinion" given by the Attorney General (AG).

Basically, he has tried to extend the term "investigation" to include "intelligence  and security", so that
the main prerequisite for exemption under Sec 24 is satisfied.

Based on what we saw in the files, we have decided to directly approach the SC, 
as soon as it reconvenes after the summer recess.
Any member/s desiring to join us and strengthen the petition/plea in the SC, 
please send a separate email (off group) to a separate email id which will be provided by
Mr Sarbajit shortly. DO NOT extend support by hitting the reply button !

Attached is the 11 page opinion of the AG.
