dear friends, On 5th June 2009, I faxed 6 paged communiqué to Supreme Court of India followed by an RTI application same day asking to provide copy of documents showing action taken on my fax sent. Since the matter concerned the life of an individual, I had invoked relevant provision of RTI Act which oblige PIO to furnish info sought within 48 hours of receipt of RTI application. On 12th June, I received a letter from Supreme Court of India. Among other things, it stated, in persuant to six paged letter to SC, it has vide its ref no. Dy No 4579/ SC/ PIL/ 20085 (5106/2009), dt 9th June, 2009, given direction to the Secretary of Ministry of Home Affairs, Govt of India, to take appropriate action in this regard. I have reasons to believe that had there been no RTI filed, no Cognizance would ever have been taken. May click this link to have access to 6 paged communiqué. Copy of letter sent: 5th June 2009. To, The Hon Supreme Court of India New Delhi From, Sandeep
