AHMEDABAD: Five persons, including two government employees, were recently "blacklisted" for asking too many questions by the state information commission - the very vanguard of the right given to citizens to ask questions under the RTI Act.
But, is there any provision to ban a citizen or an applicant from asking questions? Responding to an RTI query in this regard, the state home department in a circular replied on June 18 that "there exists no provision in law or a government resolution to blacklist citizens".
