Few days back a judge of the Lucknow Bench of Allahabad High Court imposed a blanket penalty of Rs 25,000/- on a particular Information Activist for filing any Public Interest Litigation (PIL) in the court. This is not only discriminatory but against all logic of the constitutional jurisprudence. Nobody cannot make any personal comment or attribute motives to the judge.

However, they conveniently ignore and forget the fact that Narendra Modi has become immensely popular in the country not only because of

This Act was passed in 2005 after a great deal of efforts by Right Activists across the country. This Act has virtually overshadowed the much-hated Official Secret Act 1923.The Official Secret Act was brought in by the English Government to perpetuate its illegal rule in India. The demand to scrap the Official Secret Act, 1923, therefore, has been going on for quite long time. This Official Secret Act is anachronistic with freedom of speech and expression as guaranteed by the Constitution of India . This act provides for imprisonment to a person from three years to fourteen years to those found violating the Act. This Act vests with enormous empowers to those in possessions of authority. Under the official Secret Act, warrants may be issued at any time if the Magistrate feels that there is a danger to the security of the s
