One can directly COMPLAIN to the SIC/CIC under section 18(1).
But several SIC's are not accepting such complaints (including APSIC) and asking the applicant to go through the normal process of First Appeal and then the Second Appeal. Even "complaints" are not being entertained directly by APSIC,

Therefore, as Mr Chanda pointed out, better to follow the procedure of:

- First RTI Application to PIO
- Second First Appeal to AA
- Third Second Appeal to CIC/SIC

Although long winded, it will ensure that there is no disappointment in case the CIC/SIC rejects the complaint/appeal due to incorrect procedure.
