Indian Express: Pune: Thursday,
July 14, 2016.
The Bombay
High Court has directed the state government to make available documents
pertaining to appointments and transfer of the State Information Commissioners
(SIC) in the state.
The two-judge
bench gave this direction while hearing a Public Interest Litigation (PIL)
filed by RTI activist Vijay Kumbhar who, in his petition, asked for clarity on
who can effect the transfer of SICs in the state.
In a major
reshuffle in 2014, Ratnakar Gaikwad, the SIC chief, had effected the transfer
of the SICs in the state and Kumbhar had challenged the decision.
