Applicants should give basic reasons for seeking information under RTI;Madras HC
In fact, a perusal of the pleadings, more particularly, the
application made by the second respondent as well as the counter affidavit filed
in this Writ Petition, would show that the second respondent has not disclosed
even the basic reason for seeking those informations. On the other hand, he has
made those applications mechanically, as a matter of routine under the RTI Act.
The Division Bench of this Court, in the said decision, has also observed that the
first respondent in that Writ Petition who is similar to the present second
respondent, has no locus-standi to seek for the details sought for by him, as he
has no enforceable legal right.
