Any information that happens to be in existence has to be provided.

It's antiquity can never become basis of refusal.

Information involving third person can not be divulged in absence of his consent.

T. Kalaiselvan, Advocate (Expert) 03 August 2014
I agree with the views of expert Mr. Prabhakar Singh Sir's views and opinion to your query, nothing more to add.

Advocate. Arunagiri (Expert) 03 August 2014
As per the RTI act, you can ask for any information available with the PIO, there is no time limitation, you can ask even information of 1800.

At the same time you can ask for a third party information, but this information will be provided only if that third party permits to disclose their information.
