I believe that is not a very good step.
The action taken against the erring officer after inquiry should be the primary recourse.
What results are achieved by filling FIR. There are millions of FIR pending in the police stations.
It will give one excuse to the
babus to file and FIR and deny the information.
I wont be surprised if some one file another
RTI to find out the number of FIR pending in police stations.
The objective of
RTI to make government transparent not shift blame or generate unproductive work.
May be a penalty of digitizing the records in a given time period should be awarded to the CPIO with direction to govt to make available required fund.
If a past mistake can ensure that the future mistakes are avoided, its a lesson well learned.
