The RTI application was filed for reply within 48 hrs as the information concerns life and liberty of the applicant is restricted being in arrest as per records of P.S. xxxx vide FIR No. xx/xxxx.
It appears from the above mentioned facts that the staff of RTI Cell of xxxxxxxxx, Delhi has no honor and regard for the Constitution of India, RTI Act 2005 as well as for the directions of Hon’ble Supreme Court of India as they deliberately, malafidely and negligently refused and overlooked to the directions of citation referred in the RTI Applications explaining the matter of Life and Liberty and hence are guilty of Contempt of RTI Act as well as of Hon’ble Supreme Court Order. The applicant while requesting information, relied on the case of Sheela Barse V. State of Maharashtra, AIR 1983 SC 378 where it was held that :-
The operation of Art. 21, insofar as it imposes procedural limitation on a law that effects personal liberty, commences as soon as interference with personal liberty commences and ends only when that interference ceases. Hence, this article becomes relevant as soon a person is arrested, and it remains relevant so long as he remains subject to a criminal prosecution that has resulted or might result in the deprivation of his personal liberty.
It is therefore the applicant/undersigned most humbly prays to dispose off this appeal within 48 hrs as the matter pertains to life and liberty as explained above with the followings in this regard in the interest of justice :-
1. The Public information Officer be directed to immediately release the complete information as requested vide all applications/letters mentioned in Reference above.
