Sir,
Yahan sab kuchh chalta hai.
I remember decision of Arunachal Pradesh SIC who boldly issued arrest warrant to PIO.
The entire issue resolved within 7 days. No additional fee, no explanation of small sections of RTI. No certification fee, Only personal attendance of PIO before SIC.
I believe high court failed to give proper weightage in understand "who is offender" CIC or DDA.

The various groups formed for discussing RTI matters are doing very good work. I find all posts very informative and information is power says RTI. But for posts in such groups, RTI would not have got the momentum it has generated despite Govt attempts to subvert its proper implementation. Sec 4 emphasizes that most information concerning PAs should be uploaded on their website. But who cares. In its recent judgement DDA vs CIC, Delhi HC, although considering a matter concerning non compliance of DDA to publish Sec 4 info, deemed it fit not to censure DDA for this lapse but censured CIC for its audacity to call VC DDA to discuss this with him and quashed CIC orders to form a committee to look into the matter.

I completely agree with you Mr. Iyer
Not just for the asking, such information should be
out out on the Govt. website for free access
Much of the info that is sought should be made available
so that the burden of providing information should
not be used to slow down the process ..
I suspect part of the reason for stalling is using the classic
approach of delaying in order to blunt the enthusiasm
with which the info is sought, thereby hoping to discourage
future requests ...
Talking and ranting aboutnit on internet forums serves no purpose
What is required is practical steps on how to go about getting
the info one needs alongwith names, dates, places and
contact numbers of officials to be contacted for information
Any ideas and tips most welcome
With best wishes,
from Rahul,

We make so much of noise, express dissatisfaction, enter into debates, blame game and waste millions of man hours to chase the mirage called RTI
under certain acts said to be existing. By the very system democracy it is IMPLIED, as far as I can understand, that information( other than what are restrained/prohibit ed) should be available just for the asking. If the government tries to put spoke in its free dispensing or make getting information a herckulian task, there exists no democracy in our country,
I am afraid!!
