Coram: Acting Chief Justice Manmohan and Justice Mini Pushkarna
Case No.: LPA 764/2023

“Perusal of the aforesaid definition clearly shows that information to be provided under the RTI Act includes various records, documents, circulars etc. which can be accessed by the “Public Authority” under any other law for the time being in force,”
“In view of the aforesaid discussion, this Court finds no merit in the present appeal. The same is accordingly dismissed, along with applications,”
