Personal Secretary (PS) of a senior government functionary seeking your
intervention in favour of the selection of a close relative of the functionary
for this post. The PS also informs you that he is aware of the long pending and

2013 – Pressure to Disclose the Confidential Information

crucial information about policy decisions that the Government is about to
announce. These decisions are likely to have far-reaching impact on the housing
and construction industry. If the builders have access to this information
beforehand, they can make huge profits. One of the builders has done a lot of
quality work for the Government and is known to be close to your immediate
superior, who asks you to disclose this information to the said builder. (20
