    Question

    If a sought-after information is available in the

    suo-motu disclosures on a public authority's website but is difficult to locate, the PIO should:
    A Reject the application as the information is already publicly available. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Guide the applicant to the exact webpage where the information is available. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Provide a certified hard copy of the information and charge the requisite fee. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D File a transfer application to the webmaster of the department. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    The spirit of the RTI Act is to provide access to information, not just to formally respond to applications. If the information is technically public but not easily accessible, the PIO's duty is to reasonably assist the citizen in locating it, thereby fulfilling the objective of the law.
