Court Officers or Recievers in legal case are under RTI Act ?

[Debashis Basu]

1. I do need help of fellow RTI Activists to locate the PIO name and address of Calcutta High Court.

2. Court appoints receiver or Administrator in different legal cases who are nothing but "Court Officers" . They are generally advocates or Legal Practitioners who are members of Bar Association.

3. All courts are wholly financed by Govt. Hence courts are PA and comes under RTI Act 2005 ??

4. All district courts come under High Court of that state. Hence PIO of High Court should be questioned for a "court officer" or receiver appointed by District court ?

Hope this helps you

In exercise of the power conferred by sub-section (1) of Section 28 read with Section 2 (e) (iii) of the
Right to Information Act, 2005, Hon’ble Chief Justice of the High Court Would implement RTI Act

And the PIO etc would be Joint Registrar (Establishment) State High Courts, Appeal Authority would be Registrar (Estb) and Asst PIO would be Asst Registrar (estab)

I had a similar problem with High Court of Kerala. I had adressed "State Public Information Officer of High Court of Kerala, C/O Registrar General, HighCurt of Kerala, Cochin " It was promptly responded by HighCourt giving me the information sought for. I think similar address should work in Calcutta also.

The question is -what type of information we may expect from the PIO of High Court . We have few cases pending in the HC, would the concerned PIO inform the status of those cases and when these would be taken up for hearing etc?--- Abhijeet

Dear Abhijeet

Information like hearing date etc of a particular court case are generally given by "Cause List" and you can get the same from Website of the court. PIO involvement is not required as this matter related to Court or Judge a separate jurisdiction all together.
