      A The High Court or Supreme Court by way of writ jurisdiction Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B No further forum Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C The Lok Adalat Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D The Special Court Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E The civil court by suit Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Under the Right to Information Act, after exhausting the first appeal to the First Appellate Authority and the second appeal to the Information Commission, a person still aggrieved may approach the High Court or the Supreme Court by invoking the writ jurisdiction under Articles 226 and 32 of the Constitution. While the Act bars ordinary civil suits against orders made under it, the constitutional remedy remains available. This ensures judicial oversight of the decisions of the Information Commissions in appropriate cases.
