Sir,

Sub: Request for "suo-moto" information u/s 4(1)(c) RTI Act 2005 in larger public interest.

I am sending this email seeking information u/s 4(1)(c) of the RTI Act on behalf of the subscribers to India Against Corruption jan andolan.

I refer to the Criminal Law (Amendment) Ordinance 2013, or suchlike, approved by his Eminence the Hon'ble President of India very recently, and which contained, inter-alia, the following text in its preamble.

"AND WHEREAS Parliament is not in session and the President is satisfied that circumstances exist which render it necessary for him to take immediate action to give effect to the provisions of the said Bill with certain modifications;"

Accordingly, the subscribers of India Against Corruption people's movement would like to be properly informed about the specific and exact circumstances, based on the records,  which existed rendering it necessary for the Hon'ble President of India to act immediately to give effect to the provisions of the Bill cited.

It is pertinent to mention that India Against Corruption had responded to the public notice issued for the Justice J.S.Verma Committee on Criminal Law amendments to ensure safety of women against sexual assault, and we are interested in everything connected with the process of amending the Criminal Laws of India to ensure the safety of women.

I would be obliged if the information is urgently conveyed to me by return email in view of the large public interest involved. Alternatively, it is requested that the same may kindly be uploaded to your website, under intimation to the undersigned,  for wide dissemination.

Looking forward to your reply

yours faithfully
