How can a RTI application made to a PIO be "sub-judice" ?
The PIO is not a "quasi judicial officer ".

In any case, information related to matters which are "sub-judice" cannot be withheld by a Public Authority unless there is a specific direction from the court for non disclosure of documents/records.

RTI applications, once submitted to the PIO, become public documents, as are the replies which are given by the PIO.

Has any member ever tried filing a RTI Application to see someone elses RTI application, the reply of the PIO, First or Second Appeal details ? It will be interesting to know the outcome.
