I want to get the information that is exempt under section 8 of the RTI Act. Can I override the exemption by citing public interest? How can I do it?
public_record_hunter8 Mar 2026I filed an RTI application and the PIO disclosed the information citing section 8(2) of the RTI Act, saying that it's in the public interest. Is this correct? Can I appeal against this decision?
