Irrespective of the contents of the decision, my own research finds that of late Mr Shailesh Gandhi is putting out a series of DELIBERATELY PROVOCATIVE decisions WHICH ARE DRAFTED WITH ASSISTANCE FROM A CERTAIN FEMINIST / ENVIRONMENTALIST LADY "INDEPENDENT LAW RESEARCHER" with VERY GOOD "RELATIONS" IN THE DELHI HIGH COURT. <wink> who is NOW closely associated the NCPRI of which SG was the Convenor,
The upshot of all this is that based on SG's EXTREMELY POOR QUALITY REASONING the PA is granted an IMMEDIATE STAY in the DELHI HIGH COURT and thereby for 10 years at least the info will be swept under the carpet.
This CORRUPT practice is part of SG's old Modus Operandi which he had perfected when he was in Mumbai. His public face is quiote different from his private dealings.
If any member wants to disagree with me, I challenge them to first identify and name the "Lady".

Very well justified and progressive decision. Hats off to Shri Shaileshbhai Gandhi.Coop banks have played havoc with poor depositors due to secrecy of RBI and State Coop Dept. I am sure RBI will challenge this decision in HC at public cost to deprive legitimate information to public. In fact timely and strict action by RBI with transparency would have saved many common depositors of coop banks from loss of life time savings.

The decision is really good and the arguments put forwarded by the IC, SG are unbeatable. In the past, many co-opertive banks have gone into liquidation because of vested interests of their management and such a decision will put a break on the irregularities in these banks.
In the past in 1995, where bungled amount with other consequental losses had risen to almost Rs. 100 crore. In these cases, , the Chairman of the Bank hd committed the indiscretion by asking and coercing his officers to advance loadswhere it was patently known that these would be unrecoverable. This scam was perpetuated during the extension of the two-year term to Indian Bank Chairman Mr. Gopalakrishnan despite the objections by Shri B R Lal, Jt. Director of CBI. (Indian Bank's facts taken from the book written by Shri B R Lal, Ex. Jt. Director, CBI in his book Who Owns CIB, The Naked Truth).
Some body has rightly observed that every bodies baby is no body baby and as such like this, public money is no bodies own money and every body is free to play with it for his benefit.

CIC asks RBI to disclose its inspection reports of banks
Chetan Chauhan, Hindustan Times, New Delhi, November 02, 2011
In what could open banks for public scrutiny, the Central Information
Commission has asked the country's banking regulator Reserve Bank of
India (RBI) to disclose information regarding inspections of banks
under the transparency law --- Right To Information. Information
Commissioner
Shailesh Gandhi rejected the RBI's claim that if the information
regarding banks was disclosed it could lead to reduction of faith in
banks and it could affect economic interest of the states.
"The idea that citizens are not mature enough to understand and will
panic is repugnant to democracy," Gandhi said, in his order and added
that in over 60 years the citizens have handled their democratic
rights in a mature fashion and have punished leaders who have shown
tendencies of trampling their rights.
Gandhi also took his own commission to task, which had earlier given a
blanket exemption to RBI to decide the information it could disclose
on the ground that it was an expert body to understand implications of
the information for the banking sector.
"If the position of the full bench (of the CIC) is to be accepted…then
all public authorities could be best judge of what information could
be disclosed. In such an event the information commission would have
no role to play," Gandhi said, while hearing an appeal of Jayantilal N
Mistry of Gujarat against RBI.
The commission cannot abdicate its responsibilities under the RTI Act
to RBI on the ground that latter was an expert body, Gandhi said. He
also ruled that CIC's full bench had no powers to review the decision
of former information commissioner M M Ansari, who had asked RBI to
provide complete information relating to performance of banking
sector.
Holding RBI guilty of not reading the full bench decision completely,
Gandhi said it had clearly stated that a larger public interest was
likely to be served by disclosure of such information and RBI should
be proactive in this. "It is unfortunate that the RBI has not taken
any steps to proactively disclosure this information in the last five
year," he said, while asking RBI to disclose information to the
applicant by end of November.
Gandhi was also amused at the RBI's contention that disclosing
information regarding inspection report of a particular bank could
jeopardize economic interests of India. "Declaring the audit,
inspection and investigation reports of all cooperative banks which
have gone into liquidation cannot do any further harm to such banks,"
he said.
