Preamble to RTI act says that it is “An Act to provide for setting out the practical regime of right to information for Citizens to secure access to information under the control of public authorities”. Thus, the Act empowers only the citizen of India to obtain information from the public authorities. An organisation, though a corporate citizen, is not an individual and hence ineligible to seek information.
An advocate as a citizen can personally ask for information but not as an advocate on behalf of his client.
Similarly, correspondent or secretary of an NGO or a Company, as an individual can personally seek information but not by his designation.
