made available by a public authority through means of information including
intervals in fulfillment of obligations under Section 4 of the Act can be
requested for under Section 6 of the Act. For detailed reasons therein, it was
held that neither can information already suo-motu made available by the
public authority in discharge of obligations under Section 4(b) be requested
for under Section 6 of the RTI Act nor the CPIO was required to reject the
said request giving reasons. It was held that the purport of the RTI Act is to
make the information available to the public at large and the same can be
deciphered also from Section 44 of the RTI Act providing for dissemination of
information in a cost effective and easy mode to the extent possible.
Consequently, information which is already available under any other
statutory mechanism will not be covered under the provision of the RTI Act.
