Dear Mr. Varma:

I am interested in the same. I have collected a few cases and have put them on internet at Apka Adhikar

Please let me know if you find others that I can put on the same site.

That would be interesting to complile all the Court orders on RTI at one place as dr. Satish Gupta has done & Like the judgements of CIC compiled by one of our members current up to March 2008 available for down load at rtiindia.info

Satish,

I just saw your website.
Following updates can also be posted in the relevant section:

During the weekend, I did some homework and have quite a few decisions from Delhi HC and Punjab & Haryana HC vis a vis RTI. It is taking too much time because the High Court websites do not have a "search" function.

As and when time permits, I am carrying out the same exercise with other High Courts.

Where to upload them ?
Do we need a separate section/subsection for High Court Judgements ?
Do we put up just as it is or with a small synopsis ?

================================================== ===

During this exercise, I also noticed that both Delhi HC and Punjab & Haryana HC are frequently advising appellants (in their judgements/orders) to use RTI Act 2005 to get information/documents from Government departments and then approach the court once again. These are for cases not at all connected with RTI.
This is a very good sign and just shows that even the Courts are finding RTI a effective mechanism.

We would create a separate section at rtiindia.info

Karira,
Instead of waiting for Site Admins to do something on it, it's better if you can start posting them here or in a Blog.
