As observed in past 17 months post of right to information act it has received overwhelming response from the citizen. By & large even though of reluctance on the part of BABUDOM to share public record with public even under the fear of this act the very purpose of the act is being served. In majority of the cases where under normal course citizen might not have got the info for couple of months now they are receiving in couple of days. After the independence of almost 6 decades & 5.5 decades of republic India now one can say in real sense it has come true.
Sir,
as per my observation still to implement the act in true letter & spirit i am suggesting some points, if you fill worth considerable may I REQUEST YOUR GOODSELF TO DIRECT CONCERNED AUTHORITY under section 26 /27 of the act.
Still in many of the cases at first instance citizen is not getting Thus he/she has to resort to appellate provision. the very purpose of the act enshrine for sharing & providing the info at grass root level. for which statistics may be obtained from all PIOS & appellate authorities. Where ever the appeals are nil or minimum poi may be appreciated with some recognition. in the adverse scenario pio should pay the price by way of demotion/moving to insignificant post etc after due process of departmental inquiry.
the same should be the case for appeal authority who by disposing at his level satisfied the citizen may be rewarded as the less number of appeals will be there to state info commission vis.vis.
At state level appeal the copy of appeal should be sent to pio/ appellate authority before attendance & simultaneously before attendance they should be asked to furnished the copy of relevant act/ rules proviso ions to facilitate the commission to take the decision in right direction in first sitting itself.
because in many of the cases rather than replying pointed questions in simple answer the same may be circumvented ultimately the citizen may be deprived of right direct reply which may be justified by H/ commission.
Still integrated training seems inevitable on the part of all departments .
