Hi Raj, If that is the case then Indian Evidence act provides that every public officer holding a public document shall give a certified copy to any applicant. Every public officer can now ask the rti applicant to apply under this alternate procedure and RTI power will be reduced.
Not true. Yours is a very common mistake.
The Indian Evidence Act only applies to judicial proceedings in a court or other body/person which is legally authorised to take evidence (and does not apply to arbitration proceedings)
