Re: [IAC#RG] Citizens to attach ID proof with RTI applications: HC

Another step to dissuade citizens from seeking info! But has anybody taken the DoPT to court for their circular directing public authorities not to forward applications under Sec 6(3) to other public authorities? A blatant violation of the law itself?

Dear Sarabjit Roy,

I will take care that when I post to the Indiaresist, I do it in plain
text format,

Futher I would like to see the paragraph 20 onwards of the judgement
and offer your comments as I am going to take up issues with the State
Information Commission, Punjab. This judgement will have impact in
Chandigarh and Haryana as they fall under the jyurisdiction of the P&H
High Court. Since the Court has implicted the Central Information
Commission too, it may have a wide ranging effect on the Public
Authorities of the Central Goverments.

Also, this judgement reflect the sentiment of the "Namit Sharma"
judgement of Apex Court.

What do you say!!


WITH WARM REGARDS
