While responding to a RTI query, The Ministries of Home and Defence have informed the Central Information Commission that there is nothing like "shaheed" in the Army or police; however "battle casualty" or "operations casualty" is used in place of such word.
The applicant of the RTI namely Vidyasagar Singh also wanted information from the concerned Ministries on which Acts of law ensured restrictions on its misuse and penalty for violation.
The Information Commissioner Yashovardhan Azad, in his order quoted from submissions and said that there is no scope for misuse since the decision to declare cases of "battle casualty" and "ops" is taken after the report of a court of inquiry.
