“The RTI Act, 2005 stipulates that a public authority should transfer an RTI application or a part thereof to another public authority, if the application or a part of it pertains to information.”

The correct answer is C. Both A and B.

Section 6(3) of the Right to Information Act, 2005 states that:

“Where an application is received by a public authority and the public authority is of the opinion that the information sought for is held by another public authority, it shall transfer the application or a part thereof to that other public authority and inform the applicant about such transfer.”

This means that if an RTI application pertains to information that is held by another public authority, the first public authority must transfer the application to the second public authority. The first public authority must also inform the applicant about the transfer.

The same section also states that:

“Where an application is received by a public authority and the public authority is of the opinion that the subject matter of the information sought for is more closely connected with the functions of another public authority, it shall transfer the application or a part thereof to that other public authority and inform the applicant about such transfer.”

This means that if an RTI application pertains to information that is more closely connected with the functions of another public authority, the first public authority must transfer the application to the second

Therefore, the correct answer is C. Both A and B.
