And they say RTI is a law for the common man! How many common men with a weekly income of Rs.500/-, do you think will want to seek any information form this doomed court in public interest?

Are the courts considered as Gods? ----------------------------- Myth Kumar Bangalore. <http://followmeonnet.blogspot.com/> “Men can acquire knowledge, but not wisdom.
