Madras High Court takes up suo motu review of RTI judgment; Says observations were made without noticing S. 6(2) of RTI Act

As reported earlier, the Madras High Court had observed that all applications under the RTI Act would have to disclose reasons for why the information was sought. The judgment itself had, quite understandably, drawn criticism from a number of quarters.
