Dear friends
As desired by many RTI Activists of different states, I am sending herewith a copy of PIL Case filed in Orissa High Court seeking direction of the Hon'ble Court for effective operationalisation of section 4 (1b) of RTI Act on 15.11.2010. The case has been filed by Mr. Sanjeeeb Satapathy , RTI Activist working in an NGO called Antodaya, Kalahandi district of Orissa. The petition has prayed the Court to direct Orissa Information Commission to hear complaint cases relating to violation of section 4 by the Public Authorities. It deserves to be mentioned here that in Orissa , the state Information Commission is not hearing complaint cases relating to violation of section 4 (1b) on the pretext that it does not come within perview of section 18 of RTI Act. The Hon'ble court has already issued notice to Govt. of India, Govt. of Orissa and Orissa Information Commission to comply.
