Dear Gita,

As you can see, the majority of vocal members of this list are lost
cases. They have been corrupted by the nonsense they are exposed to on
other Yahoo / Orkut groups which mislead them and where they congregate.

Section 4(1)(c) is a clause of tremendous importance for "public
spirited" citizens -which the everyone here claims to be- but most are
not. Unfortunately the current information regime is not prepared to
"enforce" this clause, allegedly on the grounds that there are no
enforcement provisions in the Act for this (which there are!!!). Till
then it is one (probably the best) of those "potentially" enabling
provisions in the Act.

My personal favourite though is 4(1) "Every public authority shall—"
the implicit "or else" being left dangling for future generations of
citizens (and judiciary).
