Dear elder brother Sri. Vikram sir

Thank you sir , I am not offensive or defensive to your coment , It is my
job to write as a journalist what i saw in the KIC , To day also i had seen
the commission official who is receiving the complaints or appeals is
refusing to take the complaints under section 18 of the act and they are
directing 1st to use section 19(1) and then come to the commission and to
see the gazette notification which is displayed on the notice board
As an law graduate i know and very ordinary citizen says the rule made is
perfect , But My question is what is the necessity of making gazette
notification by the government the law which is already existing in RTI Act
2005 pertaining to 1st appeal before the respective appelate authority
and then to the KIC ,
The Karntaka information commisssion is having 6 information commissioners
and must see that all the departments must appoint PIO's and appelate
authorites and to bring awareness &basics of RTI Act ,
Even after lapse of 6 years majority of the government departments fails
to comply section 4(1)a / b of the act , One of our volunteer filed rti
application pertaining to all the offices under Vidhanasoudha and
vikas soudha [ 47 applications] , But the bundle is sent back to him and
then he sent through COP / Ordinary post and it is deemed to be received
Even after lapse of more than 1 year no response from any body from
vidhanasoudha / Vikasasoudha , But complaint under section 18 is filed to
the commission , but commission instead of hearing the complaints ,
directed the petitioner to provide details regarding all the pio names and
addresses , The government heads are not complying either section 4(1) a
or b , even i filed rti application 2 years back with city civil court ,
they collected further fee but even after several hearings no information
is provided but information commissoners are retiring and Pio;s of courts
retiring ,but application is still pending in the commisson , this story
is same to other courts also , Karnataka lokayuktha office not complied the
same ,KARNATAKA HUMAN RIGHTS COMMISSION STILL NOT HAVING ITS OFFICIAL
WEBSITE , WHAT WE CAN EXPECT FROM AT RURAL KARNATAKA LIKE GRAMA PANCHAYATH
LEVEL

Thank you
