Question:

Some unscrupulous elements may tamper the copies of documents they access under the RTI Act and misuse them. How does one prevent such misuse of information released under the RTI Act?

Answer:

One suggestion is to mark every page of a document accessed under the RTI Act with a rubber stamp impression saying "Documents released under the RTI Act contains XX pages". If electronic files are requested the same may be provided in pdf or tiff format on floppies or CDs. This will also obviate the need for certifying the documents separately if the requestor wishes to use the same in some litigation.
