PIL concerning implementation of the Right To Information Act before #SupremeCourt

Counsel: The central government issues OM time and again to authorities. They're not complying. Only 1/3rd authorities followed.

#SupremeCourt #SupremeCourtOfIndia Image
Counsel: The same position is with the state governments. The idea is that persons shouldn't have to go to state for information but the information should be disclosed by state in public interest.

#SupremeCourt #SupremeCourtOfIndia
Counsel: Every year millions of applications are filed under the RTI Act. Once the provision is mandatory, it is not up to them. Disclosure has to come in public interest.

CJI: What directions can be issued today?

Counsel: I may refer to my prayers please see.

#SupremeCourt
#RTI #SupremeCourtOfIndia
Justice Narasimha: What you're saying is that the provisions of the Act implemented should be brought into force, Section 4 in particular.

#SupremeCourt
#RTI #SupremeCourtOfIndia
Counsel: Only one third of the public authorities went through audit.

CJI DY Chandrachud: Put it in your note. Give your note by Monday.
