If complaint is not efficious remedy, What for section 18 is in RTI act?, if some one complains that information provided is incoortect/incomplete these retired "Babus" just ignore complaints, instead of ordering investigations. S.K.Kapoor

To: [email protected] Date: Wednesday, March 4, 2009, 9:36 AM In a slew of decisions, IC(SG) has also been taking the view that Complaint is not as efficacious a remedy as a First Appeal under the RTI Act. http://cic.gov. in/CIC-Orders/ SG-02032009- 29.pdf In fact he has been dismissing complaints filed u/s 18 while remanding them to First Appellates for consideration as an "alternate remedy". This indicates that IC(SG) has been domesticated (potty trained) by the babudom, and such banal orders - to fulfil some self imposed disposal rate to please his home constituency in Mumbai - betrays his utter lack of moral courage to take a bold stance on section 18 - which is the power of the RTI Act.
