Indians have no right to file an application under the J&K RTI Act
8 May, 2012
It is a paradox of sorts that an Indian can file a RTI application anywhere in India, except in the state of Jammu and Kashmir. As per the section 3 of the J&K RTI Act, the right to file an application is available only to a person residing in the state. Therefore any application filed under the RTI Act of J&K by a person residing in India but in a state outside J&K is simply rejected as untenable.
Therefore, while a resident of J&K can file an application anywhere in India by virtue of being a citizen of India, similar power is not available to the other citizens residing outside J&K. The article 370 of the constitution has been cited as the hindrance in enforce this right? It is noteworthy that the TADA, POTA or AFSPA have been extended to the state. Similar process of extension of the RTI Act would help the cause of transparency would also help in reducing the alienation of the people.
