Kochi Corporation’s move to put a leash on serial RTI ‘abusers’ triggers backlash
Kochi municipal authorities proposed rules to curb individuals who repeatedly file Right‑to‑Information requests, prompting criticism from legal experts. Supreme Court advocate Kaleeswaram Raj argued the proposal contradicts the RTI Act’s intent, which imposes no limit on the number of applications a citizen may submit. The suggestion has sparked a public debate over transparency and procedural safeguards.
