Sarabjit, Two ex Secretaries of DoPT are already IC's. The present DoPT Secretary will also become a IC very soon.
Then, like the other IC's he will also change colours immediately. Have a look at the decision of IC S. Mishra http://cic.gov.in/CIC-Orders/SM-15102008-11.pdf (This is a order relating to disclosure of file notings and notes. There is some apparent typographical mistake in the dates - they vary from 2008 back to 2006 and fast forward to 2007) "I have scrutinized the various documents enclosed with the appeal. From these records, it appears that the First Appellant Authority has not heard the appeal preferred to him. Therefore, I remand this case to the First Appellate Authority to hear this case expeditiously and, certainly, within 15 working days from the date of receipt of this order and pass a reasoned order. While considering the first appeal, the First Appellate Authority must keep in mind the various pronouncements of this Commission on what constitutes an information as expressly defined in the Right to Information Act and not go by the instructions or advisory, if any, of the DOPT as it appears from the order of the CPIO." S. Mishra WAS himself the DoPT secretary when DoPT stubbornly refused to remove the controversial statement from its website. And a few months after he is appointed as IC, he asks a AA not to go by what he and his own department stood by all along.
