Uttarakhand is topping the list in playing a pro-active role in getting information using the Right to Information (RTI) Act. Data suggests that in the last four years numbers of appeals registered with the State Information Commission (SIC) have grown considerably. Since 2006 till June this year the total number of appeals registered with the SIC is 1,465. The neighbouring state, Uttar Pradesh, comes second with 45 appeals registered with UP Information Commission. In the same period 12 appeals were registered in Delhi, 1 each in Andhra Pradesh and Haryana. Two appeals were filed in Rajasthan. The commission has received 412 appeals against the replies received by applicants from various departments. Former chief secretary Dr R.S. Tolia, who is heading the SIC since its inception, attributes growing numbers of appeals as a positive sign.
