Re: [RTI INDIA] Re: A Minor's Right to Information

I don't want to talk about defn of citizen, I want to talk about order
32 rule 1 of CPC
and other things like that.
http://www.indiankanoon.org/doc/422409/

Let me give a small example

How is a violation of fundamental rights against a minor enforceable.
By writs u/a 32 or u/a 226 of Const ! Can a minor file a writ on his
own to these courts ? NO, because of CPC which is applicable to all
courts from munsif court to Supreme Court !

Why cannot a minor sue (apply in RTI) ? because if he loses who will
pay the costs for him ? Who is paying the fee for the RTI
application.and the supply of the information. Can a child deposit
court fees ? In any case the Indian Penal Code (what a wonderful law)
says that till 12 years of age a child has no intelligence and is
unable to contract.

Why only RTI Act ? Why cannot a child open and operate a banking
account with chequebook faciity. If the cheque bounces who will go to
jail ?
