 RTI FLASH -6

There is not at all any contemplation in the RTI Act to seek the motive of the request for information made under Section 6 of the Act and deny the request accordingly.

see

Madras High Court
W.P No 3278  /2009 and M.P. No 1
Duraisamy, P. Vs The PIO O/O A.D Handlooms & Textiles Erode & Others 

The Court observed that 'the motive of the applicant seeking the information is irrelevant while deciding whether to part with the information under RTI Act.'

In this regard, also see :  
A.C.Sekar Vs Dy Registrar of Co op Societies 2 MLJ 733 (2008)
