Mr Raminder, please do not confuse yourself. The Supreme Court of India has already defined itself as a Public Authority and had appointed CPIO & FAA long ago. Kindly check link http://www.supremecourtofindia.nic.in/RTIACT.htm The website also contains an interesting article on RTI by Hon YK Sabarwal, the then Chief Justice of India. Check link http://www.supremecourtofindia.nic.in/new_links/rti.htm The case which you are referring is about declaring the Office of the Chief Justice of India is convered under the RTI Act. RTI Wanted, why cant you make it a point to give information directly, instead of pointing the link to a third party site like rtiindia.org. This site, insists that you register on their website first, to download any information be it CIC or High Court / SC Judgement or even Govt. Orders on RTI. This kind of information should be on public domain and one should not insist on compulsary registration for downloading information of public interest. Best wishes Manoj

Otherwise, i would have dragged you to the CIC/SIC and hoped that they take you to task for providing misleading and incorrect information. Please read: http://www.rtiindia .org/forum/ 53519-supreme- court-agrees- office-cji- pa-defined- sec-2-h-right- information- act.html Don't ask me why no newspaper or agency has covered this till now. Maybe you can break the news.

Notice was issued after that to applicant S.C.Agarwall to reply. Case is still sub-judice. Court outsiders are speculating that Registry did not ask for stay so CJI has accepted the High court order. Actually the legal position is that court cannot grant itself relief in its own cause. So baba check your own facts. R S Pabbi .
