Dear Sarbajit, Section 4 " Title itself says "Obligations of Public authorities". So they need to do this if they are not doing it then they need to be pestered. It has various words, maintain, facilitate, reasonable time, computerised, connected through network, different systems. If public authority does this, then people need not go for RTI for all records. Section 4(2) expects " It *shall* be a constant endeavour of every public authority to take steps........., so that the public have minimum resort to the use of this Act to obtain information.
So if Public Authority does not take such steps then we need your defined type of haramis to make *non working Babus* to work. I can use any type of information seeking which ever is benificial to pocket. It is left to me which tea I should drink of 5 star or of Dhaba, which ever is feasible to my pocket. That is why RTI has made different types payment for getting Information. Let Public Authrity Change.
