Reasons for decision

Posted 08-26-2008 at 11:34 PM by jps50
RTI Act mandates under section 4.1.d that every public authority shall provide REASONS for its administrative or quasi-judicial decisions to affected persons. I am attaching extract from important judgement of hon'ble Supreme Court of India in connection with reasoning. This can be quoted while applying or appealing under RTI Act.

Useful extracts from supreme court judgement for common man

Posted 08-23-2008 at 07:33 PM by jps50
RTI is for common good of common citizen. I am attaching extract from a very important and useful judgement of hon'ble SUPREME COURT OF INDIA. Members can make use of it by quoting the relevant extract, while filing applications/appeals/complaints under RTI. If PIO or FAA flouts judgements of S.C., the matter may become doubly serious at CIC/SIC or Court level.

Section 8 of RTI Act 2005-IMP DECISIONS

Posted 06-17-2008 at 10:21 AM by jps50
Section 8 of RTI ACT 2005

Members may use enclosed decisions of CIC and judgement of High Court while dealing with refusal under section 8 of RTI Act which is routinely used by PIO/FAA. I suggest that applicants apprehensive of refusal under this section, should enclose these decisions/judgement with the RTI Application itself.
