Fight for BPL Card holder

The "Right Thinking Indians Association" has sought information & document under the RTI Act from the Directorate of Education, Raipur, Chhattisgarh about number of poor children who got their admission under the provision of Right to Education Act. The information has been denied on the ground that BPL card holder is not entitled to get the information & document without payment of payment of Application fees. Our contention is that BPL card holder has a right to get the document & information and is not required to pay the Application of Rs 10/- . This is as per section 7 (5) of the RTI Act, 2005. The State Govt have been authorized to prescribe their own fees but they are not entitled to charge Application fee of Rs 10/- when there is clear cut provision of exemption from Application fee under Section 7(5) of the RTI Act. No State Govt can make any provision by overriding the main Act. With this contention  we have filed the 1st Appeal which is uploaded for public viewing.
