Now it is SC's turn to kill RTI Act!

After right sense prevailed and UPA govt dropped the idea (for how long is uncertain) to kill RTI Act, it is now the turn of SC to try to kill the act by seeking cover from giving information to people. SC has suggested three amendments to this law which if enacted by parliament, will strike at the root of the most important safeguard contained in the act. All public authorities including courts are subject to the jurisdiction of an independent appellate body. SC says that this appellate body in case of courts should not be Central Information Commission but its own registrar general. Why, SC should be given such special treatment?

The proposal of SC is totally unethical and against the principles of natural justice. Are the people not disstaisfied with courts' working? Are courts delivering right justice in right time? Are people not forced to agitate to get justice from courts? Courts in India are like any other public authority which has failed the people. It should be subjected to a common law and no special treatment should be given to it for with-holding information from people.

First politicians, then babus and now courts want that they should be above the law. If country's highest judicial body has such negative mindset then who will deliver justice to the people? I am really hurt by this wrong and unethical move of SC.
