Order on Appeal No 156-11/19 Nadeem Umer Vs National Institute of Rehabilitation Medicine

National Institute of Rehabilitation Medicine was directed to provide certified copies of audit paras if included in the audit reports laid by the Auditor General of Pakistan before Public Accounts Committee for Financial Year 2016-17, Financial Year 2017-18. The Respondent was also directed to take immediate steps to proactively share through the web site all categories of information mentioned in Section 5 of the Right of Access to Information Act 2017 and submit the compliance report to the commission by 03/03/2020.

The commission observed that the audit report is finalised by the Auditor General of Pakistan, (AGP) and audit of only a certain number of public bodies is conducted each year. Each audit report contains audit paras of a public body whose audit is conducted in a given year. In parliamentary democracy, business of Parliament is conducted through standing committees through open proceedings.

The commission is of the view that an audit report becomes a public document once it is laid before Public Accounts Committee, (PAC) after the approval of the President of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan.
