Hurray!!! The SIC, Kerala rose to the occasion for the first time!! The Keala State Information Commission has in a unique decision, asked the Kerala High Court to provide the document an information-seeker has asked for under the RTI Act. In a recent decision the Kerala SIC asked the court's PIO to provide the copy of a writ peition for free to the applicant within 15 days. The Commsion also dubbed invalid Rule 12 of the Kerala High Court (RTI Rules 2006). It said Rule 12 was a total negation of the right of a cityzen and the declaration of the Act that "All citizens shall have the right to information " Rule 12 says 'No application for information or document…

Never mind RTI; UPSC marks need not be disclosed Vinita Deshmukh 03 May 2018 Justice AK Goel and Justice UU Lalit directed that: “Weighing the need for transparency and accountability on the one hand andrequirement of optimum use of fiscal resources and confidentiality of sensitive information on the other, we are of the view that information sought with regard to marks in Civil Services Exam cannot be directed to be furnished mechanically. Situation of exams of other academic bodies may stand on a different footing. Furnishing raw marks will cause problems as pleaded by the UPSC…which will not be in the public interest.” However, the Supre…

RIGHT TO INFORMATION Public Interest - Accused in sexual harassment denied information under RTI by Postal Department Vinita Deshmukh 04 July 2018 1 In an interesting case, the alleged accused in a sexual harassment case invoked Right to Information (RTI) to find out details of investigations against him. The Central Public Information Officer (CPIO) denied information citing it to be a ‘trade secret’, ‘intellectual property’ and ‘commercial confidence’ under Section 8 of the RTI Act. Last week, the Central Information Commission (CIC) trashed it by ordering the PIO to supply the information. While slamming a penalty of Rs25,000 on the PIO, the CIC wondered …

Amendments to RTI Act

As per the proposed amendments, salaries and allowances of information commissioners will no longer be equivalent to those of a Supreme Court judge. The amendments seek to empower the Central government and the state governments to decide salaries of information commissioners through rules. The rationale provided is that treating information commissioners on par with functionaries of the election commission is incorrect, as the latter is a constitutional body while information commissions are statutory bodies. Link https://thewire.in/rights/rti-law-dilution-information-commission Should ordinary citizens be bothered by this proposed amendment really ? Ho…

Even basic info under RTI is being denied, right, left and center! Vinita Deshmukh 21 June 2018 1 It is now 12 years since the Right to Information (RTI) Act came into force, to make transparency an essential element of public discourse. However, instead of growing stronger and more citizen friendly due to the powerful provisions of Section 4 disclosures, transparency in increasingly coming under a threat. Accessing even basic information that should be ideally and pro-actively be uploaded in the public domain by the public authorities under the Act, is getting tougher by the day. It seems as if the public information officers (PIOs) and appellat…

Nearly a year ago I filed for an RTI in relation to a personal matter. Having followed the advice of the members of this forum, I got a reply and it helped my cause in a reasonably satisfactory manner. Going forward, I will need to file an RTI once again. My query is, have there been any significant changes in the manner in which an RTI is filed? I am aware that the fee structure has changed - INR 50 instead of INR 10, and INR 5 per photocopy instead of INR 2. In addition to this, have there been any other changes, such as to word limit, application format, etc.? I am visiting after a while, so I'm not sure if there is a 'Sticky' thread/post that refers to chang…

1st query not given and said will give you latter. Is there any provision for such type of reply under RTI? 3rd query reply not to the point, I asked for 2005 seniority list, they have given 2006 to 2010. But not 2005. What should I do? 4th query was from 2011 to 2018, they have given 2012, 2015 and 2018 only. What to do now? 5th query was about necessity, necessity reply not given. Funny thing is when the AWS cadre was in working condition that time sanction strength of SSE was only 12. Now showing 16, where as cadre was closed before 2010. Therefore I request you all to help me for my first appeal. 1528907440780 Sent from my Lenovo A7020a48 using RTI INDIA m…

Average RTI on PSBs is Just 2 Per Year ! Vinita Deshmukh 30 May 2018 0 As per the observations of the P J Nayak Committee on public sector banks, the Right to Information Act (RTI) is a major constraint which is affecting the governance of these banks, without providing any statistics to support this opinion. Never mind the real fact that they are grossly misgoverned in other ways, going by the statistics revealed in April 2018 by the Finance Ministry that NPAs amount to a whopping Rs.6.9 lakh crore. The Commonwealth Human Rights Initiative (CHRI) decided to examine the trend of RTI disposals by the 26 PSUs and their regulator, the …

Can the disclosure of name of Highly corrupt official can endanger the life of such official ?

I am reproducing the personal message received from our member Hon. Harinder Dhingra ? The issue needs definitely a thorough discussion, as every Public Authority that is having information on corrupt officials wanted to protect the identity stating that it may endanger the life of the persons. Once the case is referred to RBI, CVC and CBI, the information is publicised and they can never keep that information confidential. Even CVC is uploading the names of corrupt officials against whom charges are pending in website. Suddenly there is a CIC decision that disclosing the names of such highly corrupt officials may endanger the life of such officials by appl…

Private schools stop 25% admissions under RTE

Hello, I would like to gain your perspective about this particular topic. Even though the Right to education act is implemented and we assume that the government is doing its job. There are many children who are not attending school or completing their basic matric education. It is their basic right and nobody keeps a check on that. The number of children we see begging on the streets, the homeless children, orphans. Does the government keep a check on that. Education cannot be ignored or even put on the sidelines. Moreover the only schools who accept admissions under RTE are government schools. The government schools are poorly equipped. They face a shortage of tea…
