Re: [HumJanenge] Sec 22 of RTI Act, 2005 about its overriding effect on other laws

Even i have faced a similar situation where Registrar of Companies, Cuttack have refused to provide info saying that to collect the info from their registered agents by depositing Rs50/-. Also they have relied on CIC order as information is availbel in alternative places so they cant be compelled to share info under RTI.

If there is any portion of a preexisting law as on 12 Oct 2005 which
is inconsistent with providing information under RTI Act, then the
said law will not stand in the way of the applicant getting his
information.

NB: It has to be first established that the applicant is otherwise
entitled to get info under RTI.
