Dear Mr Gurmeet Singh / Bhushan Kumar While your intentions may be noble, it appears that you are ignorant (!!!) of (not only the RTI Act but also) the triangular Constitutional scheme whereby our glorious Republic is structured. ie, Parliament / Executive / Judiciary.
In this context you would be well advised to read the RTI Act's definition of "competent authority" and file your RTIs to the concerned authority rather than wasting the precious time / money of Govt and also our group members by posting such nonsense here. FYI, in the present case (by your wrong choice of public authority) paying the application fees prescribed by the President of India does not permit a transfer u/s 6(3) to SC or Parliament. "g) "prescribed" means prescribed by rules made under this Act by the appropriate Government or the competent authority, as the case may be;" Sarbajit --- In [email protected], "Bhushan Kumar" <b4bhus...@...> wrote: > > RTI MATTER/ Most Urgent > > September 2, 2009 > > To > > > > The Public Information Officer, > > O/o the President of India, > > New Delhi > > > > Subject: Request for information within 48 hours as per section 7 (1) of > the RTI Act. > > > > References: > > 1. 34th report on the High Court and Supreme Court Judges (salaries and > Conditions of Service) amendment bill, 2008 prepared by the parliament > committee headed by Dr. E.M.
