RTI AND THE RTS HAS BEEN INTRODUCED BY THE GOVERNMENT FOR SPEEDY DISPOSAL OF THE WORK AND TO REMOVE CORRUPTION FROM THE SYSTEM GENERATED FOR THE EFFICIENT OPERATION OF CASES

The right to information Act, 2005 has been empowered to the citizens of our Country for setting out the practical regime of right to information for citizens to secure access to information under the control of the public authorities, in order to promote transparency and accountability in the working of every public authority. Where as democracy requires an informed citizenry and transparency of information which are vital to it's functioning and also to contain corruption and to hold Governments and their instrumentalities accountable to the governed and whereas revelation of information in actual practice is likely to conflict with other public interests including other efficient operations of the Governments, optimum use of limited fiscal resources and the preservation of confidentiality of sensitive information so it is necessary to harmonize these conflicting interests while preserving the paramountcy of the democratic ideal. As such need for speedy disposal of work is necessary, as the purpose for which these have been evolved would be defeated if these procedures are reduced to mere red-tape and delays occur in the disposal of work, Accordingly the RTI has been given a time bound check and disposal of the references but it is regretted to point that ignorance of law code manual prefixed by the Act ibid, even penal actions are deleted for the timelines which is against the systematic decision making by the Public information officers and the First Appellate authority as well as the SIC or CIC as the case may be :-- Er Fateh Chand Guleria, Director RTI welfare Association registered number HPCD, 3552 , Bilaspur Himachal Pradesh phone number 9459334377
