Hi FN My View(s)
1) It is very likely that all Govt works in India are copyright. 2) The other aspect that HENCE Govt info in India cannot be disclosed is bunkum. In brief some points against this thesis. a) The non-obstante over-riding clause 22 of RTI Act. b) Section 9 which says that information copyright held by State cannot be denied on this ground. c) Sub-section 8(1)(d) on Intellectual property which may harm the "competitive position" of a THIRD PARTY. (So State copy-right holders not ordinarily covered). I do hope some wikipedean goes and corrects that page. This group watchdogs the RTI ACT wiki page.
