Anonymous complain?

**jeevan** · 09-22-2006, 09:25 PM

Hello,
yet another query.
Can I make an anonymous complaint? Will my application be entertained?

**Dr. Pathak** · 09-22-2006, 09:40 PM

No. The person applying must be an identifiable natural person. Anonymous applications will not be entertained.

Please distinguish bewteen Complain and Application under RTI.

Both are different altogahter from the very words.

In governement department there is seperate mechanism for handling complains.

a) Anonymous complains: Please refer to CVC http:www.cvc.nic.in guidelines regarding anonymous complains: It specifies that no action to be taken on an anonymous complainhttp://cvc.nic.in/vscvc/pn3.htm

b) If an application is anonymous how can a CPIO will reply to it??

Jeevan, here I am assuming that you want to file an RTI application or complain to CIC and keep it anonymous because you are in some manner related to the public authority. In this case you can simply get the application filed by someone else familiar to you. Complaint to CIC, if required, can be filed by the same person. The other person can ask for any information even if it relates to you.

Am sorry, but don't you think by being Anon, I can ask more questions fearlessly and without any worry that some goons will be sent after me by the person who I may be 'exposing'? I am very confused. Thanks.

Anonymous applications are not allowed. Please see this blog for your concern: http://www.rtiindia.org/forum/blogs/...formation.html

As per RTI rules a person seeking information has to be a citizen of India. How an Anonymous person can prove his citizenship ?

Anonymous complaints (AC) CAN NOT be thrown into the waste apper basket but can be a tool for an enquiry depending on the office it is directed too. But the person sending the reply can not / should not expect a reply.

Sure way to see that an AC gets inot an inquiry is to ensure it gets wide publicity - newspaper, media, hand-outs, sending copy to senior officers / offices.
