Re: [rti_india] Re: Maharashtra SIC Kuvlekar seeks police protection from appellants

 

Dear Mr Sarbjit,
 
While I concur that CIC has ruled that AWHO does not fallin the ambit of RTI Act  there is no order to rule that
AWCHS which is located on Government land does not come under RTI Act. The State Commissioner for Corporation and registrar co-operative societies , Pune had ruled that any co-op soc located on Govt Land comes under RTI Act. 
 
Dear Sarbjit, I had raised the issue that if the SIC passes an Order in Open court ordering that AWCHS  comes under the RTI Act can he reverse his order while reducing it to writing and can he delay the issue 9o0f the written order for somke many months since passing the verbal order on 19 Nov 2009. 
 
I shall go through the Court judgment quoted by you. Thanks for it. 
 
Regards, 
Col Johar

"Panjabrao Deshmukh Urban Cooperative Bank v/s. State CIC Vidarbha Region Nagpur and Other ( A I R 2009 Bom. 75 )"

For a body to be a P/A it has to be constituted BY an Act of Parliament (not UNDER an Act of Parliament). The Central Information Commission had long back held the AWHO not to be a public authority.
