CIC unable to make political parties comply with RTI

The Hindu

Accepting that political parties were in violation of its order, the Central Information Commission however said it was unable to impose any action against them, a move that the petitioners called “an abdication of its responsibilities.” Faced with the only such case of non-compliance in the RTI’s history, the CIC, in an order posted on Monday night, said that further action could be taken by the Union government or by courts.
