Re: [RTI INDIA] Re: Centre must add purpose clause to RTI Act

Dear Sir, As far as I understand the Right to Information is a fundamental right in our Constitution. Perhaps my understanding might be limited. Will you be kind enough to know the exact provisions wherein we have to give reasons.

Quote from your post: In any case there are specific Constitutional provisions requiring reasons for seeking info to be mandated and which over-ride 6(2) of the RTI Act. FYI,, 6(2) is actually unconstitutional and it is better that the Act be amended otherwise it would be struck down by some court. Unquote Best Regards, Sunil.
