The question therefore was whether and to what extent the Freedom of Information Bill, 2000 introduced in Parliament in 2000, and on which the Standing Committee of Parliament had recently submitted its report, met these aims and objectives. 5.28 The Commission gave its opinion only on the salient features of the Bill, observing that the consideration of details should be undertaken in the light of the basic premise indicated above. F] Persons with Disabilities (Equal Opportunities, Protection of Rights and Full Participation) Act, 1995 5.29 The Commission has been strongly urging that a higher level of attention be given to the full and proper implementation of the Persons with Disabilities (Equal Opportunities, Protection of Rights and Full Participation) Act, 1995 by the Central as well as the State Governments. Accordingly, when the Commission learnt that the Government of India was proposing to amend the Act in order to make it a more powerful instrument for promoting equality and protecting the rights of disabled persons, it requested the Ministry of Social Justice and Empowerment to send it a copy of the draft Bill for examination. On receipt of the draft, a clause by clause analysis was made of it by the Research Division and placed before the Commission on 3 August 2000. The Commission then directed that the matter be further examined by Prof. Amita Dhanda of the National Academy of Legal Studies and Research University, Hyderabad. Subsequently, the Committee directed that the gist of the suggestions received from Prof. A. Dhanda be sent to the Ministry of Social Justice and Empowerment for their response. On receipt of the response from the Ministry, the matter has been examined once again and is, at present, under the consideration of the Commission. NATIONAL HUMAN RIGHTS COMMISSION
