PANJIM: A Division bench of the Bombay High Court at Goa comprising of Justice S. A. Bobde and Justice F.M.Reis will on Monday 6th June hear the petition filed by Goa’s Raj Bhavan against the Right to Information Act.
The petition filed by Goa Governor Dr. S.S.Sidhu’s Special Secretary Dr. N. Radhakrishnan challenges the 31st March order of the Goa State Information Commission which had directed the Raj Bhavan to furnish Adv. Aires Rodrigues the information sought by him under the Right to Information Act.
The State Chief Information Commissioner Mr. Motilal Keny in his order had ruled that the Goa Governor was a “Public Authority” and does come within the ambit of the Right to Information Act.
Adv. Aires Rodrigues’s complaint against Goa Governor Dr. Sidhu follows the stand taken by the Goa Raj Bhavan that the Governor was not a public authority and did not come within the purview of the RTI Act.
Adv. Rodrigues had sought from Goa Raj Bhavan under the RTI Act details of action taken on the complaints made by him to the Governor of Goa against Advocate General of Goa Mr. Subodh Kantak. Adv. Rodrigues had also sought copies of noting sheets and correspondence pertaining to the processing of his complaints against the Advocate General of Goa.
Dr. S.S. Sidhu is the only Governor in the country who has not been complying with the RTI Act by claiming that he was not a “Public Authority”.

FORGET ABOUT THE RTI Acts. TODAY
WHERE IS Adv. Aires. Why his voice not heard in the news ? Against the GOA BONDH.TOMORROW.
HOW MUCH AMOUNT HE TOOK FROM BJP AND SHASIKHALA ?
There'nothing more ridiculous than this. I do do not know why the High Court is haluncinnating over this case. How come the Governors office is not a public Authority. In his every address to the legislative Assembly a Governor says "my goverment is doing this.. and my Goverment has achieved that.. ". Whenever President's rule is imposed in a state, the Governor takes over the governance.
Is his office not a "public Authority" even then ????
He is more 'Niz Goan' than you are.
Do not ask where others are, ask where you are to to counteract the "GOA BONDH".
Niz Goan is potraying the typical CRAB MENATALITY of Goans.
