"SOME ISSUES CANNOT BE DECIDED BY THE COURT "asserts high court .THEN DO WE NEED REFRENDUMS ?

The Delhi High Court's inability ( due to some constitutional/legal
limitations ) to give directions to the government to change the
procedure for appointment of the Chief Information Commissioner,
saying it was not in its jurisdiction to lay down criteria in this
regard and aking the activists to raise the issue before the
government and the Parliament n to go for mass movement
to bring an amendment , is not a small issue at all.

if i take a pessimistic approach , it suggests to me that judiciary n
government are hands in gloves n want us to demand amendments n in the
guise go for those much discussed amendments we r opposing.

if i take an optimistic approach , This order shows a paradigm shift
and lays more responsibility on the shoulders of the larger civil
society to build opinion on all social issues.The harsh reality that
the opposition ( in parliament ) is paralised is hidden in this order
that's why the call for civil sociey to take on that responsibility.so
we should understand this and build a people's movement as was built
during the battle of independence . ( remember ROTI n KAMAL history ).
if we did it then , why can't we do it in today's era of
communication.

we have no time . so fix a date .wherever u r , make a loud voice at
ur place against undemocratic approach of government of india in rti
matters . we are more than 100 crores . try to make a world record so
that the world should hear it n we should hear its positive impact.

let the world see what we really are !

anyway the writ is not a failure at all and has mounted psychological
pressure on the government .The issue is not closed n shall never be
closed unless n until the objective is achieved .

one more positive aspect of the writ's decision is that if we go for
mass movement , the government cannot stop us as it would amount to "
CONTEMPT OF COURT "
