Under the RTI Act, where the information sought concerns the life or liberty of a person, it must be provided within what time?

Under Section 7 of the Right to Information Act, where the information sought concerns the life or liberty of a person, the Public Information Officer must provide it within forty-eight hours of the receipt of the request. This expedited timeline recognises the urgency of information that may affect a person's life or liberty. The provision ensures that in such critical situations, the normal thirty-day period does not delay access to potentially vital information held by the public authority.
