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.

You can have it from the State Govt. website. Thank you.

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.

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.
