Satarkar, a former speaker of the Goa Legislative Assembly was BJP Priol Mandal chief till his appointment as Chief Information Commissioner.    

Adv Rodrigues in his appeals has submitted that the Raj Bhavan had denied information with erroneous, frivolous, unwarranted bald headed and malafide intentions while the non-furnishing of information was illegal, untenable and with suspect motives.

“The Raj Bhavan had high-handedly taken shelter under unacceptable reasons in rank contravention of the RTI Act”, he said.
