FORUM
(The views expressed in this column are of
the contributors. We do not owe any responsibility, whatsoever, of the

would also request our contributors not to be personal, directly or

which ‘X’ has already expressed, our contributors are advised
to present their own views. Also be brief, say about 200 words at the

Use of Derogatory Language
- A man is known by the company he keeps.
- A tree is known by the fruits it bears.
- A civilization is known by the type of people it has produced. AND
- A democracy is known by its elected and electorate.
Can we call our system as a democratic system? The freedom of expression
and speech is at its lowest ebb.
Good Democracy ?
In a good democracy the Election Commission need not edit the language
of the Leaders and the Supreme Court need not order to follow the Manual
of Office Procedure.
Z S Nirwal
ki loot hai, loot sake so loot -
I am reminded of Raj Babbar's election in Lucknow when Sahara executives
were deployed to work for him. Within no time they messed it up and
FIRs were lodged and quite a few of them were arrested. Instead of becoming
a beneficiary, they became sufferers. NRIs are likely to face the same
as they don't know the ground reality. And India is not put for loots
- no PM can give undue favors to a crowd of thousands.

Should the copy of the marriage certificate be provided under
RTI?
Copy of marriage certificate of a certain employee was sought
from NABARD by the appellant. The Public Information Officer (PIO)
denied the information claiming that in the nature of personal
information and is exempt under section 8(1)(j) of the RTI Act.
The appellant filed a first appeal on with the first appellate
authority (FAA) which upheld the decision of PIO. The CIC disposed
the appeal observing that the approach of the respondent is in
conformity with the RTI Act.
Comment
Under section 8(1)(j), there is no obligation to disclose personal
information the disclosure of which has no relationship to any
public activity or interest, or which would cause unwarranted
invasion of the privacy of the individual unless the PIO or the
FAA is satisfied that the larger public interest justifies the
disclosure of such information.
