MRTI Act -- Sanket 'knows it all' Kambli

What does it stand for? Here you go, Right to Information Act.
So? OK, I will tell you what it is,
RIGHT TO KNOW!
Simply it’s an Act to make provisions for effectively securing and enforcing the right to information in the State of Maharashtra and for matters connected therewith or incidental thereto.
Why this act?
It will pave the way for transparency, openness and accountability in governance of the affairs of the State and ensure effective participation of the people in a democratic society.
Subject to the provisions of this Act, every competent authority has to maintain all its records, in such manner and form, as is consistent with its operational requirements duly catalogued and indexed; and every citizen shall have the right to get that information.
A person desirous of obtaining information shall make an application to the Public
Information Officer in the prescribed manner along with such fees, in such form and with such particulars, as may be prescribed.
Notwithstanding anything contained in this Ordinance, no person shall be given the information, disclosure of which would prejudicially affect the sovereignty and integrity of India, the security or interests of the State, relation with foreign State or lead to incitement of an offence.
No request for an information shall be totally rejected on the ground that it is in relation to an information or record which is exempted from the disclosure, if, it is possible to give that information from the part of the record which does not contain any information that is exempted from disclosure under this Act and which can reasonably be severed from any part of the record that contains the exempted information.
Where any Public Information Officer has without any reasonable cause, failed to supply the information sought, within the period specified, the appellate authority may, in appeal impose a penalty of rupees two hundred fifty, for each day’s delay in furnishing the information, after giving such Public Information Officer a reasonable opportunity of being heard.
