RTI Act 2005 gives citizens a right to get information from public authorities. However petitions filed against defaulters are not well attended by many commissioners functioning with the Commission. Many of them are appointed on the basis of their association with political parties and this connection reflects in most of their verdict. The illiterate and the labourers get little remedy from RTI Commission.
Persons with moral strength having no political or trade union affiliation should be considered for appointment in the post information commissioners.
