Letters Right to information
The UPA Government is to be complimented for getting the Right to Information Act passed in the Lok Sabha. The need of the hour now is to educate the public about the RIT Act, through widespread and exhaustive publicity. Though a similar Act exists in Delhi since the year 2001, yet only a few hundred applications were filed last year that too at the behest of a single NGO! The Right to Information Act should also cover at least the administrative part of the judicial system even though immunity to judiciary may not permit the bill's provisions in judicial system. For example, the Act can cover information on complaints against judges, or objections filed against misuse of administrative powers by judges of even higher courts. The system will check misconduct and corruption in higher courts at least to some extent. Subhash C.
