Dear Sarabjit Please disregard such people. Those of us who have had the privilege of knowing you can vouch for your integrity, tenacity and sound command over RTI.
By analyzing the "Inspections" which the motley crew conducted at SIC/Mah, http://groups.yahoo.com/group/rti_india/message/2490 I see that they were only granted inspection of the order files of SIC's decisions. This is routine proactive disclosure in terms of 4(1)(d) and "inspectable" u/sub-sec 4(4) anyway. To extrapolate from this that 4(4) confers a right to unbridled inspection of offices of public authority is folly and we don't need such fools (and their media releases) in the group. I think it also needs to be revealed now that the junior moderators of other RTI groups are sharing group members lists with RTI-India as the consensus is Sarabjit is one of the few people around who can kick the CICs where it hurts. Let the sunshine in - the bloodsuckers will run towards the darkness.
