How can the CIC direct the Organisations under schedule II to share information?
1 May, 2013Ref: Organisation beyond the purview of RTI Act to provide the information in public interest
Comment: There is no doubt the RTI Act has changed lives of many and it works beyond its purpose i.e. providing information to the applicant.
But it is yet to be seen how public authority (PA) in this case agrees to abide by the order of CIC which cannot order PA legally who is not covered by RTI Act, as admitted by Information Commissioner himself.
