You are a Public Information Officer (PIO) in a government department. You know that the RTI of 2005 The Act envisages administrative transparency and accountability. The act is usually employed in preventing arbitrary administrative behavior and actions. But a PIO In the format of which you have seen, there are some citizens who file petitions for other stakeholders instead of filing a petition for themselves and forward their selfishness through it. Together with such RTI there are also people who fill the routine RTI. Keeps petitions and try to get money out of the decision makers. This type of RTI The activities have adversely affected the activities of the administration and have probably put the pure petitions in jeopardy, whose goal is to achieve. What solutions would you suggest to isolate real and unrealistic petitions? Describe the properties and defects of your suggestions.

Right to Information Act (2005) has introduced a new era of transparency in India. But it has also been misused by some people due to which its effective implementation is interrupted. The biggest obstacle is to separate real and unrealistic petitions so that proper arrangements can be made to resolve the real petitions by ignoring the unrealistic petitions.

                  

To differentiate real and unrealistic petitions, I will suggest the following measures:

 Give less importance to those petitions filed by people who have filed petitions on behalf of others.

 Give less importance to the petitions of those who repeatedly petition.

The people who petition for themselves are filed and RTI is used only when the need arises, giving their petitions highest importance.

Assessment of the properties and the defects of the suggestions I presented are as follows:

Give less importance to those petitions filed by people who have filed petitions on behalf of others.
