The appellant had requested the information about the indentity of a complainant who have filed a complain against his wife on Pakistan Citizen Portal.
This Commission maintains that the identity of a complainant to the official against whom the complaint is lodged can only be disclosed after a certain threshold is met where it is determined that the complainant needs to come forward to prove allegations. Otherwise, citizens will find it difficult to lodge complaints against the officials in matters pertaining to public accountability of officials.
The appeal is dismissed.
