Rating Remarks

It is quite I use that more than 6 years passed since the date order was issued by the Uttar Pradesh state information commission regarding the implementation of the order passed by the Honourable commissioner of the Uttar Pradesh state information. It is fact that if the Uttar Pradesh state information commission will become teeth less to ensure the compliance of the order passed by the Honourable commissioner of the Uttar Pradesh state information commission then no public information officer will provide information to the information seekers which is quite obvious from the current status of the right to information act 2005. It seems that there is no rule of law in the state of Uttar Pradesh but we are governed by the rule of anarchy which is quite obvious from the Lackadaisical approach of the concerned public staff who are not complying the order passed by the Uttar Pradesh state information commission regarding the recovery of penalties imposed on the public information officers
