A booklet
elucidating various provisions of the transparency law published by the State
Information Commission (SIC) for better understanding of J&K State Right to
Information Act, 2009 was launched on Wednesday.
The
Commission while hoping that the reference book will go a long way in
understanding the basics of the law said that both information seekers as well
as information givers should follow a judicial process.
Having
references from various Supreme Court and High Court decisions on transparency
law, the booklet will also provide information on the decisions taken by the
Commission in accordance with the law.
The
Commission stated that the J&K Right to Information Act, 2009 is not an
administrative act but a judicial process.
Assuring
immediate resolution of the issues, the Commission said that it will reconcile
and resolve the conflicts in accordance with the provisions of the J&K RTI
Act.
