State of Maharashtra and another) Office Notes, Office Memoranda of Coram appearances, Court's orders or directions Court's or Judge's Orders and Registrar's orders. CORAM : A.P. LAVANDE AND PRASANNA B. VARALE, JJ. 25TH NOVEMBER, 2009. Heard Smt. S.M. Ambulkar , the learned Counsel for the petitioner and Shri T.A. Mirza, the learned APP for the respondents. The grievance made by the petitioner in the present petition is that he had forwarded ten applications seeking certain information under Right to Information Act from different authorities and the jail authorities have sent the said applications to the appropriate authority after a considerable delay. Affidavit filed on behalf of the respondents discloses that the applications seeking information under Right to Information Act were forwarded to the appropriate authorities within a period of 16 to 20 days. Having regard to the factual situation, we do not consider that the delay is of such a nature so as to warrant any direction from this Court. We expect the jail authorities to forward the applications submitted by the convicts under Right to Information Act expeditiously. In view of the above observations, Writ Petition stands disposed of. Copy of the order be sent to the petitioner. Fees payable to Smt. S.M. Ambulkar, the 2 learned Counsel, who has been appointed under legal aid scheme, are quantified at Rs.750/- (rupees seven hundred and five hundred only). JUDGE JUDGE *rrg.
