Hello Forum, In the face of Blatant Bias shown by an Information Commissioner if a complainant expresses his desire to change the constitution of a bench, what is right thing to do?
Ask him to go to High Court? A bizarre & prejudiced decision from Central Information Commission. RTI & Legal Experts plz enlighten me on this. http://cic.gov.in/CIC-Orders/OK-15092008-01.pdf Please download this decision and go through the same to get the real picture. > "As submitted by Shri Lalit Bhasin, Trustee, a review application can > only be considered by this Commission in the absence of a specific > provision for review in the RTI Act if an error in fact or in law is > found. In this case the only ground for review, therefore, is whether > this Commission has erred either in the opinion conveyed to Jawahar > Lal Nehru Memorial Fund by the Central Information > Commissioner in his letter of 7.8.2007 or by Information Commissioner > Dr. O. P.Kejariwal in his order of 16.3.07. It was, therefore, felt > necessary for both Information Commissioners to sit as a Division > Bench to hear the Review Petition concerning both. However, in light > of Shri Manna's lack of confidence in this Commission, the only > recourse now open to him is in moving a Writ Petition against the > decision of 21.11.07 of this Commission before the High Court of > Delhi. > > This Review Petition is, therefore, dismissed. Announced in the hearing." > > .
