PEOPLE FACING PROBLEMS AS (SIC) IS IN DEFUNCT POSITION AND STATUS SINCE LONG AND THE AFFECTED PARTIES DEMANDING THEIR QUASI JUDICIAL FUNCTION FROM (FAA) OR COMPENSATION FOR DELAY AND DERELICTION OF DUTY BY THE APPROPRIATE AUTHORITY

As for updating of records concerned, it is directed to say that with a view to ensuring proper maintenance of records, the right to information, 2005 , mandates that every public authority shall maintain all its records duly catalogued and indexed in a proper manner. The second Administrative Reforms Commission, in the first report (June 2006) , Right to Information is a master key to good governance and has observed that the weakest link in the information system is the neglect of record keeping and the Commission has recommended that, as a one time measure, the Government of India should earmark one percent of the funds of all flagship programmes for a period of five years for updating the records, improving infrastructure, creating manuals and establishing the public records offices. As such it is a continued process required for maintenance and updating of records and every public authority is obligated to do so. Improving the infrastructure and bringing out the necessary manuals are also continuing processes, and the responsibility of the concerned public authorities, All the public authorities should update their records, improve their infrastructure regularly and bring out necessary manuals from within the resources and they may make specific budgetary provisions for the purpose as per their requirement. It is obligatory for all the public authorities under clause (c) of sub section (1) of section 4 of the Act to publish all relevant facts while formulating the important policies and announcing decisions affecting the public. They, under clause (d) , are also obliged to provide reasons for their administrative or quasi - judicial decisions to the affected parties. It is particularly mentioned here that deciding Appeals under the RTI Act, 2005 is a quasi judicial function, It is therefore necessary that the Appellant authority should see to it that the justice is not only done, but it should also appear to have been done. In order to do so, the order passed by the Appellate authority should be a speaking order giving justification for the decision arrived at. Further it is mentioned in the here that the State Information Commission is in defunct position and status since long however no action under section 19(6) creating problems to the Applicants, and there is no disclosure in such form and manner which is demanded by the public under law code manual prefixed by the act ibid in this behalf :-- Er Fateh Chand Guleria, Director RTI welfare Association registered number HPCD, 3552 , Bilaspur Himachal Pradesh phone number 9459334377
