Exactly. Its a pity most appellants do not know the law well. They seem to mix up the
RTI Act with some of the many laws like IPC etc. where the think the respondents of the PA as criminals while the
CIC as the judge. In this case its the media to blame. The press seem to highlight the cases penalty more prominently than the decision where the
CIC has allowed disclosure of information and as a result given the poor citizen the wrong impression of the
RTI Act.
