I am not suggesting anything here .

I have been believing that RTI Applications can either Investigative [ for confirming existence or otherwise of certain facts ] or Non-Investigative [ just to LEARN the procedures , methodology involved in certain functions of a particular Public Authority - without any suspicion of wrong doing ]

Recently I filed an RTI Appl for certain Information of latter type just to know how the Public Authority works , steps involved in that function since the information was not available on the website of the PA . I was not INVESTIGATING anything . Afterwards while I was in that office , the concerned official invited me over a cup of tea and we had very cordial exchange of views . He said you could have received this information from US [ PA ] without filing RTI Appl and that such RTI Applications where WE can give you Information without RTI Appl , are unethical , burden on the system .

Now I want to know your opinion whether it is really unethical to file such Applications [ of latter category ] . What way one should adopt to get Information of latter category.

I know , I have legal right to seek any Information subject to provisions of the Act .
