My problem is this that to whom I may ask to inspect the records. I prepared an application addressing CPIO and submitted same to my immedaite official superior to forward the same to CPIO. The PIO himself directly interacting with me so far in spite of I am giving my all applications to APIO. My application under decision of CIC was not forwarded to CPIO and reply has been made by PIO. No where it is clear to whom is liable to provide the information and inspection the records. You Mr. MPAI advised me to submit the application under section 5(4) to particular office. From this it is not clear to whom I may submit my application. Either it to APIO, PIO,CPIO or Appeallant authority. |
1. CPIO and the
PIO are one and same.
2. You have to approach the
PIO for inspection of documents.
3. APIO is only a Post Man. He can only forward your applications / appeals to the
PIO / AA. So it is the
PIO who has to do all the communication.
4. You do not have to submit an application u/s 5(4). It is for the
PIO to obtain the information within his office / PA and provide the same to you within the prescribed time frame.
Looks like you will need to re-read the
RTI Act. 2005 properly.
