SC -CIC should only be a person who is or has been a Chief Justice of the High Court or a judge of the Supreme Court of India.
2 Several welfare trusts and public authorities claim exemption from the RTI Act on the basis of being independent bodies? Are they?

1/Not necessarily. cic post is not absolute judiciary but quasi judicial.


RTi is an act of parliament supreme court can interpret but can't dictate centre or parliament to amend law. constitution

has rightly demarcated / distinguish power,authority& duties of parliament,executive &judiciary thus all should maintain limit with one's introspection. If read keep this verdict along with the swpeech of H/P.M. iNDIA ON  7TH ANNUAL CONVENTION OF CIC refering circumscribin RTI in case of encroachment on privacy.   Actualy if read & kept in mind the provisions under section 8, 9 & 11 of the act sufficient provisions are already there in the act it self to safeguard the interest of person or privacy.  Both the  cases seems to    pervert/ straggle  the transparency & accountability act rather to scuttle or strangulate tha act. 2/ On the contrary looking to corporate corruption public limited companies &charity trusts where ever public fund is involved must cover under RTI. Than only transparent good governance will be there.
