Information Commission Under RTI Act, 2005 : An Appraisal
Right to Information Act (RTI) a powerful law enacted in year 2005 for better governance in the country. RTI law is backed by Article 19(1) (a) of the Constitution of India which talks about freedom of speech and expression. For proper usage of this right one should have proper information about the Public Authority. Public Authority carries wider meaning than only government. There are two objectives of RTI Act, 2005, one is to bring transparency and accountability in governance and other one is to setting up of Central Information Commission (CIC) and State Information Commission (SIC) to hear appeals and complaints. There are lot of peculiarities in working of CIC and various SICs. Some state commissions are performing exceptionally well whereas some are lagging behind. Most of the state information commission offices are facing challenges in terms of vacancies which ultimately leading to backlog of appeals and complaints. Second biggest challenge is appointment of efficient Information Commissioners who can dispose cases in effective way and in timely manner. There are Information Commissioners who have given landmarks orders and disposed off large number of cases. Thus we can see the role of information commissioner is crucial for successful implementation of RTI Act, 2005.
Present paper will critically analyze working of Information Commission at central and state level alongwith some important orders delivered by CIC and SIC.

The Indian judiciary faces significant challenges including a large backlog of over 3 crore pending cases. With only 13 judges per 10 lakh citizens, far below international standards, the judicial system is overwhelmed. While alternative dispute resolution and efforts by judges have reduced the backlog somewhat, delays of 15 years for civil cases undermine justice. Recommendations to address the issues include increasing judges, prioritizing cases, implementing time bounds, developing infrastructure and legal training, implementing information technology for transparency, and ensuring adequate budgets. Successful implementation of these recommendations could help clear a large portion of the backlog and improve the functioning of the Indian judicial system.

Mr Oommen Chandy, the Chief Minister of Kerala, India had gone around the districts in what was touted to be the CM's Public Contact Program. In each district 10s of thousands of complaints were filed in the offices of the District Collectors. The DCs distributed these complaints to the various authorities concerned, got their responses and these responses were given to the complainants. Needless to say these responses were typical bureaucratic responses offering no solutions whatsoever to the aggrieved citizens. In quite a few cases not even such a response was received. Here is one filed at Palakkad and for which no response has been received. This is about how the Kerala State Information Commission has been subverting the Right to Information Act.

Can death penalty deter child rapist?
According to recent reports, 99% of sexual assault cases in India go unreported. If true, this would mean that India has one of the highest levels of crimes against women in the world. While laws have been strengthened since the 2012 Delhi gang rape case, this has not necessarily led to higher conviction rates or quicker investigations and trials. Over 133,000 rape cases are currently pending in Indian courts, and it would take 20 years to clear the backlog of pending child sex abuse cases. Conviction rates for crimes against women are also extremely low at 19%, compared to the average conviction rate for all crimes of 47%. Significant issues contributing to this situation include slow police investigations, lack of courts, and slow court proceedings.

Order Matters : Truth or Myth (An Experimental Study on Anchoring Bias) - IIMADr. Kalpeshkumar L Gupta
This document describes a proposed experimental study to test whether there is a relation between performance order and likelihood of winning. The researchers hypothesize that an "anchoring bias" may cause judges to evaluate subsequent performances based on the immediately preceding one, potentially giving an advantage to later performers. They plan to conduct a controlled experiment involving graduate student judges rating video performances of dancers in different sequences. Statistical analysis of the scores will be used to test if average scores are higher for later performers, which would suggest the null hypothesis of no relation between order and winning can be rejected. The researchers also discuss possible applications of the experiment in other competitive domains like singing, recruitment, and presentations.More from Dr. Kalpeshkumar L Gupta (20)
