Re: [HumJanenge] Goa IC Padwal resigns post SC blow

This does not come as a surprise. Goa has always maintained a lead in all RTI related issues, barring its Raj Bhavan. Though it was the second state to come out with its own transparency law in 1997,  this act was the initiative of the Government, unlike all other transparency acts which were initiated by the members of the civil society. The SIC was one of the first to issue an order on implementation of Section 4 of RTI. One of the first SIC / CIC decision on Section 4(1)(d) was also from the Goa. The lone landmark SIC decision on the CIC website is also from Goa. Ironically, the current CM of Goa is also a prolific RTI user.
