Re: [HumJanenge] CIC poser to BJP, Congress on RTI

I think it absolutely right to bring the parties under rti act since public has all the right to know about source of their funds.

The Central Information Commission (CIC) has given political parties, including the Congress and BJP 10 days to make their submissions on whether they should be declared public authorities under the Right To Information law. The commission decided to issue a notice to other political 

parties only after representatives of the CPI and Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) appeared before it on appeals filed by the Association for Democratic Reforms (ADR) and RTI activist Subhash Chandra Aggarwal seeking to bring political parties under the RTI ambit.

Appearing on behalf of appellants, Prashant Bhushan argued that the political parties should be declared public authority under the RTI law as they were receiving substantial government funding through I-T exemption.

[HumJanenge] is there any way in which an RTI can be filed to find out how a VC has been appointed.

There seems to be gross irregularity with the Gujarat Government's appointment of VC's to the detriment of the University system. However, it has been widely rumored that VC's have been appointed by paying huge bribes to the party in power.  Is there a way of filing an RTI with the Governor and Chief Minister?  How does one go about this?

[HumJanenge] Govt may file review petition in SC on Sept 13 CIC judgement

Govt may file review petition in SC on Sept 13 CIC judgement

The government is likely to file a review petition before the Supreme Court on its September 13 judgement that judges should also be appointed as members of the Central Information Commission and state commissions. Sources in the government said that the review is likely to be filed following a legal opinion by the Attorney General that the present system should continue and there was no need to change it at this moment. The review petition could be filed in the apex court in the next few days, the sources added. Attorney General G E Vahanvati is learnt to have said that more clarity is required from the Supreme Court on the issue. Holding that Central and state information commissions perform quasi-judicial functions, the Supreme Court had on September 13 asked the government to appoint people from judicial background also as its members. A bench of justices A K Patnaik and Swatanter Kumar passed the order on a PIL challenging section 12 and 15 of the Right to Information Act, 2005 enumerating the qualifications needed for the appointment of members to the commissions. The bench, however, refused to quash the sections but asked the government to modify it so that people from judicial background are also preferred for the post. Currently, none of the eight members of the Central Information Commission (CIC), including the Chief Information Commissioner are from judicial background. The CIC comprises one Chief Information Commissioner and 10 Information Commissioners.
