It is shocking to learn about the sad demise of Shri Balwani who stood like a rock in the matter of IFCI. He got IFCI declared as a Public Authority by the single judge of the hon'ble High Court of Delhi but IFCI contested before the Division Bench which was scheduled to hear the case finally. My heart felt condolences to the bereaved family and to all friends and well wishers.

Subject: [HumJanenge] Tragic passing away of Mr. Ravinder Balwani
Dear HJ Members
I am grieved to inform you that Shri Ravinder Balwani, one of the
leading lights of Delhi's RTI movement for a very long time, passed
away in an accident on 26 April 2012. His daughter can be contacted at
"sonia.balwani@gmail.com"
Mr Balwani was a fighter par excellence with a unique interpretation
of RTI Act and has many Delhi High Court judgments in his favour. For
eg. he got IFCI declared as a pubic authority and he got the
LokAyukkta of Delhi to enquire into corruption allegations against the
Delhi RTI Act Appellate Authority.
