the records. This is against statement of chief information
commissioner (CIC) Satyanand Mishra at a seminar on RTI, organized in
the city recently, in which he said, people had not understood the
basics of the RTI Act, and that many applications received by the
central information commission (CIC) were personal in nature, adding
that information should be sought in public interest. In response, RTI
activist Urvashi Sharma moved the commission which denied receiving
queries frivolous or personal in nature.
