Concealing name itself protection for whistle-blower

In a case involving non-response to an application for information by a whistle-blower, the Central Information Commission passed orders for ceasing of harassment of the whistle-blower. In the case, the Appellant's name had been leaked to the accused, which had led to his harassment. The Commission noted that no action had been taken on the revelations by the Appellant, instead he had been relieved of his duties and transferred out of his place of work.
