This commission maintains that the disclosure of the IPC Formula / minutes of meeting dated 19-09-1993 and information about Cadre strength of PAS does not hit any of the exemption clauses mentioned in Section 7 or Section 16 of the Act. In fact, the disclosure of the IPC Formula / minutes of meeting dated 19-09-1993 and information about Cadre strength of PAS, on the balance, will serve public interest rather than causing any harm.
This commission fails to understand how the disclosure of information about the distribution of vacancies between Provincial Management Service (PMS) and Pakistan Administrative Service (PAS) will cause any harm.
The disclosure of information about the distribution of vacancies between Provincial Management Service (PMS) and Pakistan Administrative Service (PAS is not likely to, by any stretch of imagination, cause any harm to national security nor can cause any harm to any interest of the state of Pakistan. While, the disclosure of this information will cause no harm, its disclosure will serve public interest.
