Need help to frame correct RTI Application.

[vishwasb]

Dear All,

I believe a fraudulent inquiry was conducted against me by the then Additional Director General of the Ministry of Tourism, at present Additional Secretary, Ministry of Tourism.

I have gathered enough evidence by filing innocuous RTIs through different persons in different locations so that my name would not warn the officials.

Now that this piecemeal information has been gathered, I would like to ask for some hard-hitting information. The attached RTI application has been framed keeping that in mind.Thereafter, I plan to proceed on legal advice.

I would be grateful if you could go through it and let me know if it is okay to send it as it is, or if ineed to make any changes.

Thanks & Regards,

Vishwas Bhamburkar

In item 1, just ask for "certified copy"
Item 2 has to be more specific...what details are you asking for ? Are they on record ?
Items 3 and 4 might not be answered by the PIO. Be more specific - ask for "certified copies" of the dispatch/receipt register, etc...
Item 5 just ask for a copy of the full file or files, including all records, documents, file notes, correspondence, on this subject.
Item 6 remove the first part. Just ask for certified copies of rules and regulations which allow official communications of the department to be sent without........., ......., ....., etc.
(I suggest also ask for certified copies of those 4 letters that you received).
Item g to l - just ask for inspection of all records, documents, files, etc. concerning the enquiry ..........

Item n and o become redundant.

Item m seems to be very general about all enquiries. May be denied by the PIO. Try to reframe the query.

Item p and q will also be denied - since it is not on record. May be that information is in the visitors register but how long are they kept for. If you want, you can ask, but it will make the application long and also make it sound very frivilous.

Item r is definitely not information. Just ask for a "certified copy" of the letter. That is proof enough for you whether it is "official" or not.
