Section 11G: Prohibition on Divulgence of Secrecy

The investigating officer or his or her subordinate employee shall not divulge the secrecy of any matter known to him or her in the capacity of his or her post or of any document submitted, in the course of carrying out action under this Act, except where the disclosure is required by the prevailing law.

Provided that, if the Adjudicating Authority is of the opinion that such matter or document is necessary for or may be evidence in another case and the secrecy of such matter or document is divulged by the order of that authority to the person authorised by law, secrecy shall not be deemed to have been divulged.
