      Solution

      Under Section 6 of the Right to Information Act, a person making a request for information is not required to give any reason for requesting the information or any personal details except those necessary for contacting the applicant. This provision is significant because it removes the need to justify the request, reinforcing that access to information is a right rather than a privilege. It prevents public authorities from denying information on the ground that no adequate reason has been shown.
