How To Harass An Information Seeker ?

My favourite Kerala State Information Commission has now got another spurt of confidence to increase harasement of information seekers. When Activists started expossing the Commission's ignorances, the Commission appears started reading the existing Rules and Regulations on RTI Act. To start with he has now read the Kerala State Information Commission (Procedure for Appeal) Rules 2006. Rules 3 of the ibid Rules lay down that " Every appeal to this Commission shall be submitted either in the Form appended to these Rules or in any other format containing the particulars in the above said form " Without realising that this does not empower him to reject second appeals not submitted in the ibid form but can continue to submit it in other format so long as it contain all the information called for in the ibid Form has started rejecting the Second Appeal purely on the ground that the second appeal is not submitted in the form prescribed. The Activists so far could only make the Commission read the Act and Rules but could not make him understand its contents.
