CIC perused the two RTI Applications written in the same hand writing filed by different individuals - CIC: This does not take away the gross violation of the RTI provisions by the PIO - CIC expressed severe displeasure & marked a copy of the order to FAA
Appellant: Denial of information u/s 8(1)(h) is rather bizarre as the case pertains to a period dating back 22 years - CIC: PIO mechanically invoked the exemption on the premise that de novo inquiries are pending against the Appellant; Inspection allowed
Appellant sought copy of remarks, noting of concerned authorities on her 9 letters, copy of show-cause notice issued to her husband Lt. Col. Arun Gulati and copy of the said officer’s reply - CIC: The denial of information u/s 8(1)(j) is not appropriate
Copies of testimonials submitted by the candidates at the time of their appointments was denied under Section 8(1)(e) of the RTI Act - CIC: Mere allegation of corruption cannot imply larger public interest; No further intervention of the CIC is required

Are there norms about the fee a school should charge and the facilities it offers?
5 Jun, 2015
Mohammed Azam, a resident of Hyderabad, filed an application under the Right to Information (RTI) Act, 2005 with the joint director of school education inquiring about the fee structure and the facilities offered by the Springfields School in Masab Tank. He asked for particulars about the qualifications of teachers, availability of the playground in the school for the students and a copy of certification given to the supplier of the food in the school. The school refused to give the information forcing Mohammed to approach the State Information Commission (SIC) in the second appeal. As the notice for the second appeal was served, the school authorities reportedly called Mohammed and handed him the transfer certificate of his son Azfar Azam who has not been allowed to enter the school from June 2.
The school charges Rs 45,000 per annum from II standard student and reportedly has poor facilities. With the admissions for schools coming to an end for the current academic year, Mohammed Azam is bereft of too many choices. The case is proposed for hearing before the SIC on June 24.
