Passport delay

[avishal_jain]

I have applied for Passport of my wife & son on 17-11-2009 by Speed Post Centre Inodre, My application date in Regional Passport Office, Bhopal is 13-12-2009. Police verification is done on 20-01-2010. But As i have checked status its showing Police Report is Incomplete.

I have many times called at RPO Bhopal but no one is picking up phone.

I have also sent many mails to RPO Bhopal, Passport Officer Joint Secretary (CPV) & Chief, Passport Central Public information Officer-Delhi,Passport Officer, Public Gr & Passport Appellate Authoritu-Delhi but no one is responding.

On 05-04-2010 I have recd reply from Passport Appellate Authority-Delhi he is saying pl submitt PP Form again so on dated 04-05-2010 I have sent PP Form in three Copies by Speed Post No. EI039868415IN to RPO Bhopal but they are returned the post without given any reason.

On dated 14-05-2010 I meet Speed Post Centre Passport Officer Mr. Zafri and as per his instruction I have again sent PP Form by Speed Post No. EI039884483IN.

And Filed a RTI Application thorough GPO Indore as per guidance of you website. But he is charging me Rs. 15/- as UCR repct No. A2921 and given me acknowledgment on my applications xerox.

Its right or not? Every time going to Bhopal is so tuff for me bcaz I am in service. I am so much tired. Please guide me what can I do?
There is any system for getting justice?

Dear Mr. Jain

U have file RTI application (with fee) correctly. better wait 40/45 days from the date of your application and in case of no reply file first appeal.

RTI procedure is :Time limits specified in the RTI Act - RTI Guide
1. RTI Application with Fee to PIO
2. If no reply/ not satisfied with reply in 30 (or 35 days in case of submission to APIO or under Section 6(3)),
First Appeal to the First Appellate Authority (normally a officer higher than the PIO)
3. If no reply/ not satisfied with reply in 45 days to the First Appeal, then Second Appeal to the CIC/SIC (time period is 90 days)

While waiting just go through some of threads available here: Post your RTI Success here

I think FAA has to reply within 30 days and not 45 days as mentioned in point no. 3 of post#2 of Ambrish.p above.
Also You can file a complaint also u/s 18 for non receipt/no reply.

You got to wait for upto 45 days as APIO is allowed 5 days more. Also account for the postal delivery time. from you to APIO, APIO to PIO, PIO to you.
