Rodrigues case verdict on February 28
Staff Correspondent
PANAJI: Goa Chief Information Commissioner Motilal Kenny will deliver his verdict on February 28 on the complaint filed by activist lawyer Aires Rodrigues against the Advocate-General of Goa Subodh Kantak for not complying with the provisions of the Right to Information Act (RTI). Arguments in the case were heard on Thursday.
Appearing on behalf of Advocate-General Mahesh Sonak on Thursday argued that the Advocate-General was not a “public authority” and did not come within the purview of the RTI Act.
Mr. Rodrigues said the Advocate-General was very much a public authority his being a constitutional post and even enjoying a Cabinet status. He submitted that the Advocate-General as a “public authority” was required under Section 5 of the Act to designate within 100 days Public Information Officers to provide information to persons requesting the same from the Advocate-General's office.
He said Section 4 of the Act required the Advocate-General to publish and make public within 120 days various information details about the Advocate-General's office.
