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.

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.

in response to my letter, PCB quoted “the magic time frame itself shows that the law at hand is being abused for personal and ulterior motives”. I submitted my argument to @PkInfoCom on 27 Aug 2021 that the response of PCB lawyers is evasive and not satisfactory.

The order states that in exercise of the powers conferred by Rule 2(1) of the Temporary Suspension Of Telecom Services Rules, 2017, the DCs of the State of Rajasthan are hereby empowered to exercise the powers conferred by the Rules in case of public emergency or public safety.

...@PresRajapaksa spent more than Rs. 785 million within three years to charter @flysrilankan aircraft for his visits abroad. Documents showed that the airbuses would often remain idle in various airports until Mr Rajapaksa finished his tours. (2)
@flysrilankan billed his office a total of Rs 785,079,185 for 90 aircraft movements in 2012, 2013 and 2014. This figure doesn't reflect other multiple costs such as crew accommodation. Those expenses were often met by Sri Lanka’s diplomatic missions abroad. (3)

The #Balochistan Right to Info Act 2021 suffers from several drafting mistakes including, for instance, definition of subordinate judiciary includes non-judicial institutions like office, council, board & commission. @jam_kamal @ZahoorBuledi @Senator_Baloch @IshaquebalochDr
The #Balochistan #RTI Act 2021 unfairly excludes higher judiciary from the definition of public body, despite the fact that Article 19A makes no such distinction. #Punjab #RTI Act applies to higher judiciary as well. @jam_kamal @ZahoorBuledi @Senator_Baloch @Senator_Baloch
#Balochistan #RTI Acts 2021 doesn’t mention if it will have overriding effect, which is a major flaw as, without it, it may be treated as in addition to other laws that include restrictions on disclosure of info. @jam_kamal @Senator_Baloch @ZahoorBuledi @IshaquebalochDr

#MintPlainFacts | In the first nine years since it was formed in 2005, the CIC was headless for all of 10 days. Since 2014, it has gone headless for 464 days. In each top appointment since, there has been a break, with the longest being in 2014 and 2015.
#MintPlainFacts | Rising case pendency at the commission suggests that the appeals body is in urgent need of more commissioners.
In October 2017, the CIC had 24,287 appeals and complaints pending before it. In October 2020, this figure had increased by 52% to 36,894.

*THREAD* (1/n) Often feminists don't agree to the fact that men in India suffer due to gender biased laws- in favor of women. Argument is, there are no statistics which suggest that Indian men suffer. So there is no need for gender neutral laws or a national commission for men.
(2/n)Well the statistics were always there but mostly ignored. I've collated some stats from NCRB data for Crime in India 2019. Despite these facts, people still play the 'women victim', 'abla nari' card. Let us look at what the statistics say -
(3/n) Analysis and approach - 1. For simplicity, the focus of this analysis will only be on crime against women. 2. Crimes like IPC 506 (Criminal intimidation), IPC 354C (Voyeurism), IPC 354D (Stalking), IPC 406 (Criminal breach of trust) have been left out in this analysis-
