RTI is not applicable to MLAI. It is Only a registered society. MLAI is not set up by any government agency nor a substantially funded NGO. But still you can file an application under RTI. MLAI fellows may not know that they are not bound by RTI; But may comply with your request if your request for info carries a threat that the official concerned would suffer a fine of Rs 250/- per day of default from his personal income, without knowing that it is an empty threat.

Dear Professional

As per the RTI (right to Information) act, office bearers of the assocation has to provide all the information including bye-law, proceeding and the decision and the latest returns filed to the registrars of the society.

We may need to ask for all the documents and the proceeding may be undertaken.
