Huffington Post has a report
here on foot-dragging by the Indian Army in affording public access to records relating to a controversial court-martial. Is the prospect of public dismay a proper reason to restrict access? Excerpt:
The army has used grounds of national security to deny information that reveals just how the military judges their own officers and soldiers accused of heinous crimes.
"Disclosure of such sensitive information would result in public outrage," the army petition states. "Hence keeping in view of public interest and security, it was decided not to implement it."
