Allahabad (UP): Right to Information (RTI) application can be filed in Urdu in Utter Pradesh, said Deepak Sindh, the Central Information Commissioner.
In an order against the chief general manager of Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL), Lucknow, he said that Urdu is the second language of the state and according to section 5(5) of RTI, it is a legal right of very citizen of the state to submit RTI applications in the language.
He also ordered to constitute a panel of experts of the language to deal with applications which are filed in Urdu.
The order came in the context where a check signed in Urdu by Perwaz Ulum Azmi was returned by BSNL.

Signature can be in any language
Hi
I agree that singature can be of any language as the job of the authorizer is to verify with the original and see whether it matches. However if people start writing the words in urdu, it will only create disaster in the processing of cheques.
I sign mu cheques in Urdu
I sign my cheques in Urdu and barring a single incident, where I explained the 'educated' person what signatures means, he too got convinced. The hate which has become nature of most Indians with Islam, Muslims and Urdu, is due to over emphasis on Hindu culture while dismissing same or even criticising it. Why on this earth secular India has Prithvis and Akaash and Agni as missiles while a Khalid, barq or karrar a communal concoction? The new imposition of Sanskrit while people are still opposing the so called Hindi language show what respect the communalists have for normal human behaviour. To them killing an animal is bad while thousands are killed. They have embolden so much that even if you own an animal 100%, they decided whether it is legal to slaughter the animal or not.
My daughter's teacher snubbed her when she listed Eid as festival celebrated at home along with the festivals at school. In addition to this, she insisted on christmas which we never celebrate. Her name suggests she is Hindu but I have to write a letter to her so that the child gathers courage to show what she celebrates at home. Is this healthy secular, democractic society the India of yore claiming. There are many who wished there is closed holiday on Rakhi few days back but since last year many have objected to the holiday on Eidul Azha. This is sheer Islamophobia and these buggers understand the language of power. To them there is nothing bad in having the so called winter break to have christian holidays. In India you may fnd speacial trains on christmas but none on Eid. You are asked to celebrate where you are working while they arrange speacial trains. You own Antony once wrote to centre on change of winte break stating that shifting of the same is not 'benefiting' the christians while he had alleged Muslims for collective bargain just few months before the said letter. He remains a 'clean' minister while a AR Antulay is nowhere in sight. Indian has been fittest for jiski laThi uski bhains!!
