RTI Act 2005: Time Limit for Life or Liberty Cases

The Right to Information (RTI) Act, 2005, sets specific timelines for providing information to citizens. These timelines can vary based on the nature of the request.

Expedited Response for Life or Liberty Concerns

When an RTI request pertains directly to information that affects the life or liberty of a person, the Act mandates a significantly shorter response period.

Under Section 7(1) of the RTI Act, 2005, the designated Public Information Officer (PIO) is required to provide the requested information or reject the application within 48 hours of receiving it.

This accelerated timeline ensures that critical information impacting an individual's fundamental rights is disseminated promptly.
