Recently the DoPT as well as the Information Commissioner are dismissing the appeals/complaints of the information seeker under Section 6(3) of the RTI Act 2005, that the word used there is "Authority" and not "Authorities" as shcu if the information is held by more than one authority, the operation of Section 6(3) is not comes into operation. Section 13 of the General Clauses Act 1897 comes to the rescue of such appellants/complainants.
