EC clarifies on “Missing File” of Maharashtra chief electoral officer Baldev Singh

The Election Commission of India has denied reports of missing file on Maharashtra Chief Electoral Officer Baldev Singh’s (IAS:1989:MH) appointment and  states that it is ” non-traceable”. This comes after RTI Activist Agarwal’s petition to obtain the information on Maharasthra CEO’s appointment, which was denied on account of the file gone missing .

However, when the RTI Activist asked the Delhi Police Commissioner and Election Commission to file an FIR and initiate criminal proceedings, the EC denied reports of missing file and said that the file pertaining to the appointment of Maharashtra’s CEO Baldev Singh is untraceable and the asked information will be provided once the file is traced.
