[HumJanenge] Tragic passing away of Mr. Ravinder Balwani

Dear HJ Members

I am grieved to inform you that Shri Ravinder Balwani, one of the
leading lights of Delhi's RTI movement for a very long time, passed
away in an accident on 26 April 2012. His daughter can be contacted at
"sonia.balwani@gmail.com"

Mr Balwani was a fighter par excellence with a unique interpretation
of RTI Act and has many Delhi High Court judgments in his favour. For
eg. he got IFCI declared as a pubic authority and he got the
LokAyukkta of Delhi to enquire into corruption allegations against the
Delhi RTI Act Appellate Authority.
