These are glaring example how an Act meant for setting a regime of transparency and accountability but due to utter apathy of the state govt depts and lukeworm approach by the retired IAS or IPS at the helm of affairs having least interest is nullyfying the efforts.
Unless an officer with proven reputation is posted as SPIO ; appellate authority and Information commissioner the situation will not improve.
At the same time people must be educated to file appeals at proper level and activist NGOs should pursue vigorously.

Our group has filed  seeking information under section 4(1) a and 4(1) b of the act , But many of the departments done incomplete 4(1) b of the act , with reference to 4(1) a of the act cataloging and indexing of records , None of the departments are taking any interest even after lapse of 5 years , We filed complaint with state information commission , But State information commission not interested to implement section 4 of the act , Both Government departments and state information commissioners are working together to burry the act , State information commission became pensioners paradise , They came to commission to enjoy government car and facilities , Always they are not working neutral , they try to close the case without providing information

This is a poorly drafted and confused petition. Still it may work - or it may not.
