Right Sir, But respectfully, I draw your kind attention to the following mail available on the blog: From: Sankar Pani <sankarprasadpani@gmail.com>
Subject: Re: [HumJanenge] the Register of company acting against RTI act.
To: humjanenge@googlegroups.com
Date: Saturday, 14 May, 2011, 10:04 AM similar is my case where two applications rejected and even the CIC given the decision in same line citing a case.
The order copy of CIC in Appeal No 21/IC (A)/2006 dated 29th March 2006 in the matter of Arun Verma Vs Department of Company Affairs, Govt. of India that the CPIO has sent reads as follows "There is already provision for seeking information under the companies act. The appellant may accordingly approach the registrar of the companies, as advised by the appellate authority, to obtain the relevant information. There is no question of denial of information to him
Apart from this, how the Registrar of Companies/Min. of Company Affairs are demanding Rs. 25/- per page? This is the misuse of the liberty given to fix the charges for the documents. In which state, we pay Rs. 25/- for a photo copy for one page. You will, Sir, appreciate and agree that these tactics have been adopted to harass and dissuade the RTI applicants. U.P. SIC has made questionable rules, as we often read from the mails sent from Lucknow by some activists. Earlier, High Court fee was Rs. 500 per RTI application which was brought down after much hue and cry. Haryana Govt. charge Rs. 50/- per RTI application. Even some Departments have made its own rules which are quite at variance of the RTI Act, 2005. Jaipur Development Authority dismiss the first appeal if the applicant is not present in person, instead of taking decision on the basis of the material available on record, as per RTI Act. Such practice, I have come to know, is being adopted by some other Departments also. I agree that you have done a lot for brining transprancy especially by making the reluctant DoPT on file noting to remove of comments on the issue on its website but now, there are concrete efforts from some quarters, including from the Govt., to blunt the RTI Act. I agree that before turning down your decision given by u in your capacity of Chief IC, Shri Shailesh Gandhi should have preferred to refer the matter to the full bench of CIC for reconsideration. By doing so, he may have decimated the chances for striking down his decision by the Hon'ble Supreme or High Court. At the same time, it is hard to disagree with the logic given in the decision by him by giving options to the applicants for using any option available to him for obtaining the information. Regards and with best wishes, M K Gupta

The authority to make rules is prescribed under the Act. It is hardly possible that every public authority will proceed to make rules! Wajahat

It is another entirely that the decision in Adv Khanna's case was drafted by Mr LCSinghvi (the then JS-Law/CIC) and not by Mr Habibullah.

It is taking different view if one is convinced that view earlier taken by IC/CIC is incorrect. If One is to follow always what is decided earlier, there will be no development of law or progress of law or understanding different view in any matter. I believe view now expressed by IC SG is the correct view, In fact sometime before on this sight strong objection was taken in context of registrar of companies matter and decision was debunked by many members.
