Re: [HumJanenge] FYI

Most of us feel today clearly that RTI is Sham:  Nothing but a hoodwinking ploy to fool the masses. Such loosely created regulations, amendments, ever new procedural changes are not without a reason. A nation of six decades experienced and seasoned tricksters are experts now to make mockery of everything and get away with it. Don't we feel that RTI was created on the lines that>>> " Say Something, Project Something  but...Do Something Ashok Reach out and touch someone with your Love & Gratitude. ~Ashok --- On Sun, 26/12/10, SHASHI KUMAR.A.R. <rudreshtechnology@gmail.com> wrote: From: SHASHI KUMAR.A.R. <rudreshtechnology@gmail.com> Subject: Re: [HumJanenge] FYI To: humjanenge@googlegroups.com Date: Sunday, 26 December, 2010, 11:20 PM Non compliance of information commission order is brought to the notice of information commission , But they have not directed to provide the information or imposed penalty , In karnataka commisison most of the cases are closed by the information commissioners directing the pio to provide the information , Before providing the information the case will be closed stating that 14000 cases are pending for disposal , The PIO's will forget subsequently to provide the information as per direction of the commission , The commission is nexus between bureucrats and having soft stand  once again if we knock the door of information commission there will be no use  SWAMY VIVEKANANDA SOCIAL AND POLITICAL REFORMATION MOVEMENT FOUNDATION  On Sun, Dec 26, 2010 at 12:00 PM, JSD PANI <jsdpani@gmail.com> wrote: 1.Non compliance of Information Commissioner's Orders is not a contempt of Court !!!!!!   One should approach again Information Commission to direct the PIO to comply Commission's orders and also demabd to impose penalty on PIO.   2.

In fact this is not the only case of hc rules being anti-rti. The high courts-most of them- have prescribed exorbitant application fees, introduced illegal fee for 1st appeal, introduced formats for application, 1st appeal etc. In fact I am yet to come across anybody who has got any satisfactory reply to his/her application made to any court.   regards n bw   ravi On Fri, Dec 24, 2010 at 4:44 PM, Afd Pratidhi wrote: Dear All, Greetings from AFD! Pls find Attached is a RTI sent to the the Jharkhand High Court and a reply received from them. This is to inform you that the Jharkhand High Court (Right to Information) Rules,2007 are not in harmony with the provisions of the RTI Act, 2005 as seen in the reply received where they are asking for the applicant's motive behind obtaining such information - whether it is "proper and legal". According to the RTI Act, 2005 Section 6(2) says ''an applicant making a request for information shall not be required to give any reason for requesting the information or any other personal details..........''
