The Madras High Court on Wednesday directed the State Information Commission (SIC) to dispose of, within eight weeks, a second appeal for a direction to the public information officer (PIO) at the Raj Bhavan to disclose information on the Santana Dharma on the ground that it was being propagated by Governor R.N. Ravi.
Justice M. Dhandapani issued the direction following a writ petition filed by advocate S. Doraisamy, 78, who was also the vice-president of Thanthai Periyar Dravidar Kazhagam. The petitioner had claimed that his second appeal under the Right to Information (RTI) Act had been pending with the SIC since February 6 this year.
