Is there any possibility of not taking cognisance of the information furnished by an informant?

Ans. In case it is found that the antecedents of the Informant, the nature of the information furnished by him in past, and his conduct justify not taking cognisance of the information furnished by him, the matter shall be referred by the JDIT (Inv.) to the PDIT (Inv.) concerned and, if approved by the PDIT (Inv.), it would be open to the JDIT (Inv.) to ignore the information furnished by the Informant.
