I find the views of Sh. Venkatesh amenable to my own views. On the contrary I would like to bring to your kind notice relevant portion of Orissa RTI Rule that says that if INFO is in public domain then it need not be supplied through 6(1) route and liable to be rejected outright.
Orissa rules also prescribes a specific form for rejecting RTI Applications on this ground. See FORM C para (iv) & (viii).

At least one copy of the information placed in the public domain must be presumed to be available with the concerned public authority. So what is there in the law to prevent any citizen from seeking it under S. 6(1)? And where in S 7(1) or S* or S9 does it say that what is proactively disclosed under S. 4(1)(b) cannot be provided in response to an application under S6(1).
