Re: [HumJanenge]

The RTI Act is intended only for those citizens who desire to receive
information from the State (and its instrumentalities).

In the event that a (unincorporated) group of citizens wish to
collectively apply for information, they can certainly do so provide
that each one of them pays Rs. 10 as application fee to receive a
single copy of the information desired. So if say 8 citizens apply
then they must pay Rs. 80 as application fee. Then whereas they shall
get a single copy of the information against further fees (multiple
copies at prescribed copying fees) they are then entitled to file upto
8 separate first appeals and 8 separate 2nd appeals individually.
