Mr. Sarbajit,

A few days back there was a long (and inconclusive) debate on Sec 4(1)(a) and 
who has "access" to computerised and networked records.

You had mentioned that, that is only meant for access by PIO's and Government 
servants with seniority and security clearance, etc.

Well, IC SM does not think so:

The objective behind Section 4(1)(a) of the Right to Information (RTI) Act is 
to encourage public authorities to computerise their operations and activities 
as much as possible so that the public can access any information easily 
through internet; surely the intention is not to multiply paperwork by 
photocopying reams of data even if it is available digitally.
