Comment:
The inputs are really important to all the RTI activists and applicants as they are often harassed by calcitrant PIOs and sometimes even by CIC and SICs as their inclination to pardon the guilty PIOs and First Appellate authorities so in future special prayer specifically should be made by all RTI users. This will have a deterrent effect upon the authorities who deliberately violate the RTI Act with impunity.
