Today (01 July 2011), CIC has passed an order while hearing a Complaint from an accused in the Ghaziabad PF scam.
In a very long order, CIC has ruled that:
1. The Govt. order on exemption of CBI from RTI is not in consonance with the basic provisions of the RTI Act
2. CIC can hear direct Complaints and there is no need to exhaust 19(1) before approaching the commission
3. The gazette notification on CBIs exemption has only a prospective effect - ie cannot be applied to applications/appeals/complaints already in process.
Full order is attached to this post.
