Re: Suggestion for improvement of RTI Act and it's functionality | |
I propose the following: - Eliminate First Appellate Stage. Instead all RTI Replies must be approved by the Head of the Institutions. (Saves at least 45 days)
- In case of default penalise both the PIO and the person who has endorsed it. (They will think twice)
- Eliminate the distinction between State and Central Public Authority.
- Instead all RTI disuputes at state level should be handled by the State Commissions.No need of a central commission.
- Fix a time limit say 60 days within which the State commission should hear and give decisions. Impose penalty on delay.
- Create special RTI benches at the High Courts to hear cases related to RTI.
