Enforcement Directorate has moved the Delhi High Court challenging the Central Information Commission’s order asking it to submit the report of Virendra Dayal, who went to the UN to collect documents for oil-for-food scam in Iraq.

“The petitioner (ED) is aggrieved by the CIC’s directions to produce the file (relating to report of Dayal) in order to satisfy itself as to progress of the investigation, even while it concedes (in that order) that such investigations are pending,” ED said in its petition to the Court.

The Directorate claimed that the CIC’s order was “unsustainable for more reasons than one”.
