    Case Summary: WPC/4697/2022 The High Court of Chhattisgarh set aside the State Information Commission's order dated 07.09.2022 against Divisional Forest Officer Jadhav Sagar Ramchandra. The petitioner had rejected an RTI application as vague and lacking specific details, and the Information Commission later imposed penalties without proper hearing. The court held that the RTI application was genuinely deficient, the petitioner's clarification was reasonable, and the Commission violated natural justice by mechanically imposing penalties without recording findings of deliberate withholding under Section 20 of the RTI Act. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
