Dear Fellow RTI-ers As many of us know IC A.N. Tiwari is on a one man crusade to scuttle the RTI Act. I am not going to list the numerous tactics he uses, but shall stick to his published decisions. For example, IC(T) is the brains behind a novel interpretation of 7(3)(i) whereby he permits P/As to charge exorbitant "costs" from the applicants. These are some of these decisions.

I seem to recall IC(A) had also given a few decisions like this. 2) A list of decisions of other ICs where this approach of 7(3) was rejected. I seem to recall IC(PB) had a few of these. 3) An analysis of why IC(T) is wrong. Any SC judgements etc. 4) An analysis of why IC(T) could be right. Sarbajit
