The Supreme Court on Monday asked the Centre and the States to decide on a plea to electronically provide information to applicants under the Right to Information (RTI) Act.
A Bench led by Chief Justice H.L. Dattu asked the governments to take up a petition filed by Madhya Pradesh-based lawyer Rajeev Agrawal, and decide on it within three weeks.
The plea, filed through lawyer Amit Kumar, had sought a direction to the government to create “centralised RTI websites for submission of requests” and allow online filing of appeals and payment of fees with public authorities.
