Re: [HumJanenge] AP High Court judgment regarding compliance of SIC order

The objective of the RTI Act is to disseminate/obtain information.
What is the point in ONLY getting a penalty imposed, if information is not provided ?

Nowhere does Sec 20 state that if Penalty is paid, information need not be provided.

It also means that the ONLY remedy if info is not supplied pursuant to
a TIME-BOUND direction of CIC/SIC, then the appellant is ONLY entitled
to have PENALTY imposed on CPIO. and/or a disciplinary action against
CPIO as envisaged u/s 20. (NB: I personally feel that a section 18
complaint also lies but the same was not agitated properly before the
Court)
