    Case Summary: WPC/4700/2022 Jadhav Sagar Ramchandra v. Chhattisgarh State Information Commission The Chhattisgarh High Court quashed the State Information Commission's order of September 7, 2022, which had directed a Divisional Forest Officer to disclose a cheque register, imposed financial penalties, and initiated disciplinary proceedings under RTI Act Sections 20(1)-20(2), all without affording him a hearing. The court held that RTI penalty provisions are not automatic and require clear findings of malafide denial or deliberate default; here, the officer had legitimately rejected a vague application and the Commission's mechanical decision violated natural justice principles.
