Re: [HumJanenge] Re: SC rules that Info Commission cannot order disclosure of information under Sec 18

In this case the appellant to SC was Manipur State Information Commission (er) and naturally the govt. advocate must have fought the case.  Such lapses, if our presumption  is correct, like brining full facts to the knowledge of SC like provisions of section 18 that information should also be provided under this section, are not abnormal     

Without bringing the errors in the judgment to the knowlege of SC, how these error can be plugged? In such circumstances, such errors will become rules and every public authority will refuse to give information if complaint is filed.

However, filing complaint cum appeal may be a via-media as suggested by one enlightened member.

Dear MK

1) The right course is to do nothing. The judgment is perfectly sound
and should be appreciated.

2) The wrong course.is to file a curative petition.

3) The perfect course is to assail the bloody Union of CICs+SICs. The
way they work is that CIC and a few SICs like Karnataka,  AP, P&H etc
have "federated" to muck up the RTI Act. The CIC doesn't show its hand
because most of their cases get appealed to Delhi High Court & SC with
strong opponents (like immodest me) who don't allow them to get away.
But, if some poor appellant from Manipur who cant afford a senior
advocate in SC or come in person for every hearing is the opponent,
then the RTI movement / Act gets screwed.

Unfortunately,  we (the opponents) never unite, so "they" keep on
getting gift horses like this from the SC.
