Dear all.
Had Judiciary been kept out or RTI ambit, decisions like recent Madras High Court order requiring info-seekers to give reasons to request information not been there.
While going through the said order of Madras High Court, I came to the conclusion that the order has been deliberately passed to make RTI users feel the heat of (misuse of ) powers of Indian judiciary if someone tries to poke his nose into the affairs of Judiciary.
A humble request to all RTI users, if you wish RTI regime to exist for some more time, please refrain from filing RTIs related to India Judiciary or else such judges like Madras High Court shall do such irreparable harm to the transparency regime about which even the most corrupt of legislature and executive might have never dreamt of (because of pressure from civil society group) what to say of you n me.
