RTI for citizens Right to Information: Re: [rti_india] Fwd: [Indiarti] CIC to approach SC as ICs refuse to work

Dear Shri Jam

On 7 Mar 2010 the registry of Supreme court challenged
order of bench of Delhi high court declaring office of the
CJI "public authority" under RTI. Notice was issued after that
to applicant S.C.Agarwall to reply. Case is still sub-judice.
Court outsiders are speculating that Registry did not ask for
stay so CJI has accepted the High court order. Actually
the legal position is that court cannot grant itself relief in its
own cause. So baba check your own facts.
