Dear all. Hue and cry of mis-use of RTI is being raised by those corrupt officials, who are exposed by seeking information. It is fact that NO BODY CAN BLACK MAIL ANY BODY BY USING RTI & SEEKING ANY INFORMATION, IF AFFECTED PARTY HAS NOT DONE ANY THING WRONG. S.K.KAPOOR

Presently the only way it can appear to be misused, is by asking for a lot of information, but that will gradually force the government to implement section 4 of the act and propel the country towards e-governance, Thereby most of the information will be available suo motu, also almost all the information shall be available in electronic form, duly cataloged and indexed, hence the PIO will be able to provide any amount of information just at the click of a mouse.
