Indian
RTI Act is unique in a way that it includes even Government as third party.
In India, Parliament adopted the Government’s Bill which includes the public authorities in the definition of third party, disregarding the Parliamentary Standing Committee’s recommendation not to do so.
If such a request for information under
RTI is received, the third party objection appears warranted. It then depends on the facts of the case as presented by both party wheatehr such information can be released or not.
I beleive the spirit of RTI is to look into future and ensure trasparency and accountalbity and ensure good gonvernace, over all development not to go in the past and bring back ghosts to haunt in the present.
