RTI Appeals & Decisions

A party aggrieved by the order of an Authority established under the Right to Information Act may approach the High Court by way of a Writ Petition, but in very restricted and limited circumstances. Like if the directions of an Authority are contrary to the Act on a question of law or contrary to any directions of the High Court or the Supreme Court. High Court, however, does not sit as an Appellate Court to appreciate the findings of the Authority on questions of fact. Similar postition holds good for a Special Leave Petiton; in fact, rather further narrowed down.
