[HumJanenge] PIL Case on Section-4 of RTI Act

Dear friends

As desired by many RTI Activists of different states, I am sending  herewith a copy of PIL Case filed in Orissa High Court seeking direction of the  Hon'ble Court  for effective operationalisation of section 4 (1b) of RTI Act on 15.11.2010. The case has been filed by Mr. Sanjeeeb Satapathy , RTI Activist working  in an NGO called Antodaya, Kalahandi district of Orissa. The petition has  prayed  the Court to direct Orissa Information Commission  to hear  complaint cases  relating to violation of section 4 by the Public Authorities.  It deserves to be mentioned here that  in Orissa , the state Information Commission is not hearing  complaint cases relating  to violation of section 4 (1b)  on the pretext that it does not come  within perview  of  section 18 of RTI Act.  The Hon'ble court  has already  issued  notice  to Govt. of India,  Govt. of Orissa and  Orissa Information Commission to comply.
