Hon’ble Sir,

Subject: Jurisdiction of GIC over Hon’ble High Court of Gujarat under RTI Act

I enclose copy of my letter dated 21-08-2013 which was emailed to you on  21-08-2013. I also attach copy of news appearing in Times of India website on  09-11-2013.

In view of what is stated in my letter dated 21-08-2013, Gujarat Information Commission has no jurisdiction to decide on second appeal or complaint under RTI Act against Hon’ble High Court of Gujarat.

I humbly and respectfully request you to relook into the issue ab-initio to avoid embarrassing situation for all stake holders.

Yours faithfully,

J P Shah
