-The Indian Express<br />
<br />
The Supreme Court on Tuesday agreed to hear the Centre&rsquo;s plea to review its verdict on amending the RTI Act to ensure that only serving and retired judges of the apex court and chief justices of high courts could head the central and state information commissions.<br />
<br />
A Bench of Justices A K Patnaik and Swatanter Kumar decided to hear the review petition in the open court.<br />
<br />
Asserting that the court cannot issue directions to the legislature to amend an Act or rules and that it is the responsibility of Parliament, the Centre has claimed that the September 13 judgment &ldquo;sought to complicate a simple statute&rdquo;.<br />
<br />
It said that certain directions were in violation of provisions of the RTI Act and thus damaging to the smooth functioning of the Act.<br />
<br />
&ldquo;These contrary directions have the potential to create disarray in the functioning of the central and state information commissions. Such directions amount to a clear error apparent on the face of the record, being in absolute disregard to the provisions of the Act,&rdquo; the petition, drafted by counsel Anoopam N Prasad for the Department of Personnel and Training had stated.<br />
<br />
Disputing the court&rsquo;s mandate to equate information commission with a judicial tribunal, it said the commissions can, at best, said to be quasi-judicial bodies, carrying on primarily administrative work.<br />
<br />
The plea further said that if the status of the commissions was altered to that of a judicial tribunal, and a court attached system of justice, this would only result in a delay at various levels.

<br />
The Supreme Court on Tuesday agreed to hear the Centre&rsquo;s plea to review its verdict on amending the RTI Act to ensure that only serving and retired judges of the apex court and chief justices of high courts could head the central and state information commissions.<br />
<br />
A Bench of Justices A K Patnaik and Swatanter Kumar decided to hear the review petition in the open court.<br />
<br />
Asserting that the court cannot issue directions to the legislature to amend an Act or rules and that it is the responsibility of Parliament, the Centre has claimed that the September 13 judgment &ldquo;sought to complicate a simple statute&rdquo;.<br />
<br />
It said that certain directions were in violation of provisions of the RTI Act and thus damaging to the smooth functioning of the Act.<br />
<br />
&ldquo;These contrary directions have the potential to create disarray in the functioning of the central and state information commissions. Such directions amount to a clear error apparent on the face of the record, being in absolute disregard to the provisions of the Act,&rdquo; the petition, drafted by counsel Anoopam N Prasad for the Department of Personnel and Training had stated.<br />
<br />
Disputing the court&rsquo;s mandate to equate information commission with a judicial tribunal, it said the commissions can, at best, said to be quasi-judicial bodies, carrying on primarily administrative work.<br />
<br />
The plea further said that if the status of the commissions was altered to that of a judicial tribunal, and a court attached system of justice, this would only result in a delay at various levels.

<br />
The Supreme Court on Tuesday agreed to hear the Centre&rsquo;s plea to review its verdict on amending the RTI Act to ensure that only serving and retired judges of the apex court and chief justices of high courts could head the central and state information commissions.<br />
<br />
A Bench of Justices A K Patnaik and Swatanter Kumar decided to hear the review petition in the open court.<br />
<br />
Asserting that the court cannot issue directions to the legislature to amend an Act or rules and that it is the responsibility of Parliament, the Centre has claimed that the September 13 judgment &ldquo;sought to complicate a simple statute&rdquo;.<br />
<br />
It said that certain directions were in violation of provisions of the RTI Act and thus damaging to the smooth functioning of the Act.<br />
<br />
&ldquo;These contrary directions have the potential to create disarray in the functioning of the central and state information commissions. Such directions amount to a clear error apparent on the face of the record, being in absolute disregard to the provisions of the Act,&rdquo; the petition, drafted by counsel Anoopam N Prasad for the Department of Personnel and Training had stated.<br />
<br />
Disputing the court&rsquo;s mandate to equate information commission with a judicial tribunal, it said the commissions can, at best, said to be quasi-judicial bodies, carrying on primarily administrative work.<br />
<br />
The plea further said that if the status of the commissions was altered to that of a judicial tribunal, and a court attached system of justice, this would only result in a delay at various levels.

SC to hear review plea on amending RTI Act
-The Indian Express
The Supreme Court on Tuesday agreed to hear the Centre’s plea to review its verdict on amending the RTI Act to ensure that only serving and retired judges of the apex court and chief justices of high courts could head the central and state information commissions.
A Bench of Justices A K Patnaik and Swatanter Kumar decided to hear the review petition in the open court.
Asserting that the court cannot issue directions to the legislature to amend an Act or rules and that it is the responsibility of Parliament, the Centre has claimed that the September 13 judgment “sought to complicate a simple statute”.
It said that certain directions were in violation of provisions of the RTI Act and thus damaging to the smooth functioning of the Act.
“These contrary directions have the potential to create disarray in the functioning of the central and state information commissions. Such directions amount to a clear error apparent on the face of the record, being in absolute disregard to the provisions of the Act,” the petition, drafted by counsel Anoopam N Prasad for the Department of Personnel and Training had stated.
Disputing the court’s mandate to equate information commission with a judicial tribunal, it said the commissions can, at best, said to be quasi-judicial bodies, carrying on primarily administrative work.
The plea further said that if the status of the commissions was altered to that of a judicial tribunal, and a court attached system of justice, this would only result in a delay at various levels.
