Hello friends, I am Prateek Chaudhary, Advocate Chaudhary Legal Associates, I salute you all. Hello. Today we have brought today's video on a very important subject, the topic of which is such that you were wanting for years, which you were wanting for years, which you were looking for, I wish this could happen, today we have brought to you the solution to that wish, that you do not have to even apply for RTI for information and you do not have to wait for the given time limit for RTI application, you should be able to get the information directly, you should be able to get it immediately, you should be able to get it immediately, if this happens then how would it be, yes today we will talk about this, today we have brought for you the law which is called in common language, the father of RTI, today's topic is very important, very significant, I would like to request all of you that you should watch the video completely, do not skip, do not watch it back and forth otherwise you will not understand and your questions will be missed, watch the video completely and before starting the video, I request those who are new to my channel to subscribe so that So that our legal updates keep reaching you people every day, share as much as possible, so that a needy person can be helped through you, through me, so that the video that I am making reaches the common man, so that he can be helped, you can play a chain system in this important work, so share it, let's start today's video without wasting much time, today's topic that we have brought is such an important topic, all my subscribers, my viewers, were continuously asking me that sir, I have applied for RTI, 30 days have passed and the information officer has not given the information, so I told them that you can make its first appeal under section 19, so they also appealed, then I got questions from many people that sir, we have also appealed under section 19, but did not get a response, so I said that you have the last option left under the Right to Information Act, the last option which is called the final appeal which is in the State Information Commission or the Central Information Commission, you have the option of going to the State Information Commission or the Central Information Commission and filing an appeal, many people have filed appeals But such a crowd has gathered in the commissions under the Right to Information Act. Be it the State Information Commission or the Central Information Commission, the pendency is so long that the numbers are coming after a year, two, two and a half years, three years. So, getting information after such a long time is somehow suffocating the Right to Information. Not getting information on time due to these things is a very serious issue and many times the Honorable Supreme Court has also said that delay in justice is equivalent to injustice. Therefore, today we have brought to you a law that you had for years, but you did not realize it, you were not aware of it. We have worked very hard and with great efforts, discovered it and are discussing it with you today. Yes, we are talking about the Indian Evidence Act, which you may have heard of. It has been playing an important role in the Indian judicial system for a long time. The testimony given in the court before any case is disposed of is done under the Indian Evidence Act. Anyone who becomes a witness in a case is made under the Indian Evidence Act. Section 74 of the Indian Evidence Act is an important part of the Indian judicial system. It says that any person, any government official, who collects or prepares documents while doing any work, those documents will be called general documents. Listen again, under Section 74 of the Indian Evidence Act, any employee or officer who is collecting or preparing any document from someone, all those documents will be called general documents and general documents also come under the scope of your RTI and come here also. So, the general document which you need from the department, if you feel that a lot of time is going to be wasted after going to the RTI, then you can go to Section 76 of the Indian Evidence Act and make an application to the concerned department. You can write 'Sir' in the format on a plain paper and tell them that I want this information. You will have to write an application under Section 76 of the Indian Evidence Act and you can ask for the information which you want, the documents which you want, and the concerned authority will have to provide you that information immediately, quickly and at that very moment. You will have to provide the relevant fee for this, which has been mentioned and I will tell you here that the fee is a normal fee, it may take you a day or two to get the normal information. In the Indian judicial system, a system has been made that if you need any copy from the court or under the Evidence Act, then you will have to pay an urgent fee for that. If you need it immediately, then there is an urgent fee and the urgent fee is just double that, that is, by paying the fee, you can get the information immediately in an urgent manner. Hand to hand, isn't it so interesting, Nana, the father of RTI, that is why this law is called the father of RTI. In Namit Sharma vs Union of India, the Supreme Court made a settled law and released the case in which they wrote that if you look carefully at section 76 of the Indian Evidence Act, then there is a glimpse of RTI in it. Yes, the Honorable Supreme Court has laid down in Namit Sharma vs Government of India, Namit Sharma vs State case that the law somewhere has a glimpse of RTI because this law allows you to get information. It motivates you and gives you information immediately and somewhere it is a much better law than RTI, it gives you information immediately, you don't need to wait for 48 hours, you don't need to wait for a month, you don't need to go to commission, you pay the fee, pay the urgent fee, the fee is double, the urgent fee is only ₹10 and by paying the urgent fee you can get your information immediately under the Act, here I will tell you the biggest and most important thing about it, we sometimes ask for RTI from Gram Panchayats and the secretaries of Gram Panchayats, the Pradhans, their blocks, sometimes give us very disappointing answers, they say that Gram Panchayats do not come under the ambit of RTI, so let me tell you that they do not have knowledge of the law and due to lack of knowledge of the law they are cheating you, they are deceiving you, you should tell them, Section 21 of the Indian Penal Code makes this provision, it states that any Gram Panchayat in India, It will be considered as a place which comes under the scope of law which will also come under the scope of RTI, so if anyone says that your Gram Panchayats do not come under the scope of RTI or information cannot be given or information cannot be given under the Evidence Act, then you should advise them to read IPC Section 21, it is very important to read it immediately, so this is all that we talked about in today's video, we could have done a lot more but the video will become very long, I invite your comments and suggestions, whatever comments and suggestions you have, write them to me in the comment box, write them in the message box, you people ask questions, we will answer and if you face any difficulty, we will find a solution for it too, it is a very good law, it is a very good act, keep in mind, the fastest way to get information is Indian Evidence Act Section 76, that's all in today's video, give me your permission, I will see you in the next video very soon, till then Jai Hind Jai Bharat Namaskar
