What this tool does

  • Filter by court (SC / every HC / CIC / SIC), RTI Act section, outcome, and year range.
  • Search by keyword — parties' names, citation, ratio, keywords.
  • Landmark filter — narrow to the 38 most-cited authorities every PIO, FAA and RTI advocate should know.
  • One click to open the full editorial summary (with cross-links to related rulings) or the reported judgment on Indian Kanoon / Supreme Court Judis.

Tips

  • To find every case turning on §8(1)(j), pick “§8” in the sidebar filter and type 8(1)(j) in the keyword box.
  • To find every Delhi High Court ruling, pick “Delhi HC” in the Court facet.
  • To find rulings since DPDP 2025, set year_from=2025 and keyword personal information.
  • To find applicant-friendly precedents for your First Appeal, filter Outcome = “Applicant allowed” + Court = SC.

Reminder on citation

Every ratio shown in the search is an editorial compression of the reported judgment. Before citing in any official filing — PIO order, FAA appeal, CIC/SIC submission, High Court writ — always verify against the full reported decision. RTI Wiki does not warrant legal correctness for any specific dispute. Final adjudication rests with the Commission or Court.
