Congress pays for ‘Beadabi & Gustakhi’ in assembly polls

The Hindi language deficiency of the three Gandhi claiming the hereditary right to rule has ruined the congress Party’s chance of ever coming to power in the Centre on its own. They have uttered words and expressions which are abuses so low that the speaker uttering those words is considered uncultured, uncouth and lowly bred. The Congress leaders of no consequence cheered them loudly every time one of them uttered those words. There are more than 90 such words and one such expression earned Rahul Gandhi jail term for two years besides disqualification as Member of Parliament (stayed by the Supreme Court but not exonerated).

Copy of the nomination form executed by late father

Appellant sought copy of nomination form E2 and F2 allegedly executed by her late father with Bharat Petroleum Corporation Limited raising concerns regarding the authenticity of a document, executed by her late father. The said document is crucial for the reconstitution of an LPG distributorship associated with BPCL. The respondent stated that the requested information could not be disclosed under the provisions of Section 8(1)(e) and Section 8(1)(j) of the RTI Act. The CIC observed that the appellant is the daughter and heir of the late Shri Bharatkumar Mohanlal Suchak and has been unwittingly included in the indemnity clause of Annexure E2, which was supposedly executed by her late father. Holding that this clause effectively makes her a party to the document, the CIC directed that she is not considered as third party, and is entitled to request and receive a copy of the same.

Comments

The RTI Act has often been used by individuals in commercial disputes to obtain certain information to build a case. The applicant has to show either the information is not personal or has to establish that there is larger public interest in disclosure.
