Section 24 of the Right to Information Act, 2005 exempts certain intelligence and security organizations specified in the Second Schedule from the purview of the Act. However, the proviso to Section 24(1) explicitly states that information pertaining to allegations of corruption and human rights violations shall not be excluded from the scope of the Act, even in the case of these organizations.

The question focuses on the exemptions provided to intelligence and security organizations under the RTI Act and the conditions under which such exemptions do not apply, particularly concerning human rights violations.
