Sufi as the state’s chief information commissioner (CIC) because it did not have the clearance of the Central Vigilance Commission (CVC).Sufi, an income tax officer, was recommended for the post last week by a panel headed by Chief Minister Omar Abdullah and the file was sent for formal appointment to the governor, official sources said Thursday.

“This was mandatory,” he added.
The government will seek the CVC’s clearance for Sufi’s appointment before sending the file back to the governor, the sources said.
