Hi,
I am an Indian, interested where our country is progressing or regress into pre-independent feudalistic era. My home state, Andhrapradesh, is highly corrupt and no one seems to worry about the system. When there were murders, police did not even register the FIR with the magistrate due to political interference. Andhra did not implement police reforms and appointed a non-elected politician as a member to control law and order. Can any NGO take this matter seriously enough to get police reforms are implemented in all states without any delay and get crime investigation agency separated from political power?
How can one use RTI t achieve the fundamental correction required in our society, i.e., restoration of the ability to live safely in a society and attain justice in a stipulated time?
In other words, can we achieve constitutional amendments in law and order situation that is outdated to suite our needs through RTI?
RTI is only meant for getting "information".
"Information" is defined in Sec 2(f) of the RTI Act.
"Record" is defined in Sec 2(i)
and your "Right to Information" is defined in Sec 2(j).
Please go through the RTI Act here: Right to Information Act 2005
However, the main purpose/objective of the RTI Act is to bring in "transparency" , "accountability" and reduce "corruption".
You will have to see if any of the three objectives of the RTI Act mesh into your issue of Police reforms and then decide what "information" you can seek to see what is the current status of the reforms.
