Re: [rti_india] Re: Sec 4(1)(a) and who has "access" to computerised and networked records...

 

Dear Sarbajit,

Thanks for sharing the links, I have perused them.

In a nutshell, it is primarily about interpreting the intent of the Legislature for using the word "shall", with REFERENCE TO THE CONTEXT ( by evaluating, the rights / benefits of someone, being dependent upon the interpretation i.e ultimately circumventing back to interpret the intent of the Legislature for laying down a piece of legislation).

I would appreciate if you can share your POV on the following:

1. Quote: "If it is STORED in a computer it must be given only as a print out"  Unquote.

In that case, can you ENLIGHTEN our forum on, how an information, which is in the form of a few hours of video, stored on a PA's computer, may be provided to an applicant under the RTI.

Thanks,

Sunil.
