The 1st point is covered under RTI Act Section 7 (1) |
Both points are covered in the act. The second point is implied in the text of sec 7(1) "
as expeditiously as possible, and in any case within thirty days of receipt of of the request"
The first point is directly covered in the proviso to section 7(1)
