I have gone through provisions
of the RTI Act, 2005.
Among other things, the Act has defined “Competent
Authority” as follows.
"(i) the Speaker in the case of the House of the People or the Legislative Assembly of a State or a Union territory having such Assembly and the Chairman in the case of the Council of States or Legislative Council of a State;
(ii)the Chief Justice of India in the
case of the Supreme Court;
(iii)the Chief Justice of the High Court in
the case of a High Court;
(iv)the President or the Governor, as the
case may be, in the case of other authorities established or constituted by or
under the Constitution;
(v)the administrator appointed under
article 239 of the Constitution;"
I fail to understand as to why the framers
of the Act have defined this Authority when no function of this Competent Authority
has been prescribed.
Perhaps the framers of Law wants to impress the Citizens
of India that so many big Authorities are present in India (!)
