Why can’t Human Rights Commission become ‘ad hoc’ Information Commission in States with few RTI appeals, asks Supreme Court
The Supreme Court has suggested that the Human Rights Commission could temporarily act as an 'ad-hoc' Information Commission in states with few RTI appeals, until the number of appeals justifies the creation of an independent Information Commission. This proposal aims to address the issue of lack of Information Commissions in some states, which can impact the effective implementation of the Right to Information (RTI) Act.
