1. The
RTI Act does not specify the "limit" for the number of applications one can file.
(Can the Court tell a citizen that he cannot file more than "X" number of cases in
a particular time period ?).
2. THE
SIC has no powers under the
RTI Act to issue such orders.
In fact the
SIC is expected to see the implementation and observance of the
Act by the various PA's.
3. The Act is the
RIGHT to Information Act.........one can easily go to court
against such a order by the
SIC and file a writ for prevention of exercising his
RIGHT.
4. This is just a "escalation" of everyday problems that members of this forum and
other "citizens" face with
PIO and AA. In this case the
SIC itself has got involved.
5. If the RDO does not accept the
RTI application from Major Ravindran, he should complain to the Kerala
SIC and ask for imposition of Penalty under Section 20.
As discussed in some other thread, the imposition of penalty is "obligatory"
Colnrkurup has been continuously complaining against the Kerala
SIC ever since he joined this forum. West Bengal seems to be another
SIC which does not work properly.
Time to start reading Section 17 very carefully.....
