RTI perview to get law position on a given situation

The query seeks legal advice; it may not be entertained under RTI.

Hon'ble Bharath Sir,

In RTI Act, applicant can ask information on advice, openion under Chapter-I, section-2 (f).

Here I am seeking advice from law deparment.

Shall I go ask this information under RTI?

"Information" described in RTI Act 2005 is "Any document in the form of paper or electronic such as copy of data in computer, any material like if any citizen wants to know the sample of the cement used in construction of a building in which public money is involve.  Query in the form of question-Answer does not mean "information" as per RTI Act.

You may ask the copuy files and documents which are underr control in Police station or in court including statements.  

Ld. members are right.

As per RTI Act the information asked by you relates to Judicial proceedings or judicial functioning of the Court or overreaching a decision of any judicial body which are barred under Rule 7 (v) (vi) of the Delhi HC (RTI) Rule 2008.

The above is stand of Delhi HC through which similar que. are barred atleast in Delhi.

Now check your High Court Rules and announce here if appropriate for others common consumption.

Hi,

Here I di dnot ask the information on any judgement .... I asked the law related to the circumstaces to take action as per law.

WHEN YOU ARE EGGAR TO DO RTI, BETTER YOU DO IT, INSTEAD OF ASKING.

IT IS A NEW THINGH. LET US KNOW THE RESULT BY POSTING AT LCI.

Hi Arup,

Just to confirm I posted this ....

I filed a RTI to one court seeking information on: what are the requirements needed to file Review Petition on  court order in the same court as per law.

I am waiting for the answer.

Chapter-I and Section 2 (f) are referred by Mr. Shiv.

Section 2(f) is reiterated;

"Information" means any material in any form, including records, documents, memos, e-mails, opinions, advices, press releases, circulars, orders, logbooks, contracts, reports, papers, samples, models, data material held in any electronic form and information relating to any private body which can be accessed by a public authority under any law for the time being in force.

"Information" means any material in any form, it means what ??? "in any form".. it means what ??? "form" means what ???

As per my knowledge, it mean the information asked should be  "materialistic".. "material"...

So the "advices, opinions" means "advices, opinions" that is on record with the public authority whichever have been made for functioning the office and execution of public work assigned to that public authority.

"IT IS NOT THAT - THE PEOPLE CAN TAKE ADVICES, OPINIONS LIKE LEGAL ADVICE UNDER RTI ACT."

I agree to Sh. Ram Samudre,

Had it been the case all Hon'ble Judges role would have become that of a typist to give replies to flooding RTI Appliacations and detailed replies on Law points to reply in 30 days to a Applicant and all Ld. Lawyers would become dispatchers of Court as no client would come to them and simply send Rs. 10 IPO to Court and seek Legal Opinion.

Apologies to all professionals and respected Judges with my blunt illustration above hope my message is conveyed what actually I mean.

“RIGHT OF A CITIZEN OF INDIA TO HAVE INFORMED AS TO WHAT IS GOING ON BY THE GOVERNING BODIES”

– IT IS THE “RIGHT TO INFORMATION” OF A CITIZEN.

–  “Right To Information ACT” is for punishing the public servants who cease the information and deny to access to any citizen under one pretext or the other.

@ Arun Sir,

Please remember that lawyer's openion and suggetions are not working in court reveal lawyers advices are not correct and working in court or courts are thinking the things in other wy around.

Even lawyers advices wont work, clients need lawyer support to represent on behalf of client, to make good presentation to the court and adopting the court procedure and gathering the necessary information bystudyng the Acts of the contitution ect.

If all the work is done by the client then that client has to put huge effort for his single case then no use of it unless he opt for social service.

Hi All,

if citizens get required information on law position in the given circumstaces then unnecessary petitions will not be filed in court by the petitioenrs would lead to reduction of the cases in courts and also other cases in pending may get disposed early.

Also corruption in Judiciary can be effectively handled.

I request RTI activits to work on this ....
