Re: [HumJanenge] Ex-CJI Balakrishnan opposes release of his tax returns under RTI

Mr.Govind & Mr MK,  In my opinion ( I am open for correction, if I am proved wrong)

"If a Return is filed as a statutory requirement and is available in a public Office and if that return is not marked as a "Confidential Communication" it is generally treated as a information belonging to the Public Office, even though filed by a citizen..  Also, if the Legislators are entitled to access the informatin the Public must be entitled to.     Second para of section 8(1) (j)  and Setion 11(1) to 11(4) are relevant to the issued under dicussion.   Under section 11(1) the CPIO or SPO has to chech whether the information provided by the Third Party (Balki in this case) has been 'marked' ( treated as "Confidential), Only in that case, notice inviting objection of the third party can be issued , if there is no such marking of confidential, the Information Officer is not bound to ask the objection of the third party and can take his own decisions."  Regards, dwarakanathdm

Dear friends,
When he was in power, he never allowed RTI to be implemented in our supreme Court. I always used to doubt his intention. If you are free, clean handed why do you need to worry.
He was one of the most corrupt CJIs and harmed our democracy a lot. Therefore he never allowed RTI to be implemented in judiciary.
Do we still say we are living in a democratic country?
