hi Joseph,
My passport application date is: 16 April, 2007
File Number is: F 006419
I had received my Management course admission confirmation letter from Swansea University, UK. I met the PRO showing that and requested for early issuance of the passport on 2nd July. I was assured that the passport will be issued on 12th July and will subsequently be despatched in the next 2-3 days. The passport status on the official website is still showing as "Passport was ready on 12-07-2007." (
Passport Enquiry Status, Ministry of External Affairs, Govt. of India) When I went to the passport office I was told that the police verification officer had recommended the issuance of the passport only after my permanent address verification. Therefore I was advised to submit Personal Particular forms in triplicate so that the Ghaziabad office could send the verification to my permanent address of Lucknow. No verification has been sent to Lucknow till date. Faxes and emails to RPO ghaziabad and Chief passport officer, New Delhi have yielded no results. I also sent in an email largely containing the contents of my first post to these emails:
----------

For reference, these emails are of Prime Minister, Sonia Gandhi, Pranab Mukerjee Minister MEA, Chairman NHRC, Cheif passport officer of India, Director of CBI, DGP UP, SSP Gautam Budh Nagar(Noida). Apparently, none of these authorities have any time to read/ reply/ take action on such a small issue of a lowly citizen's career.
One of my friends, who is in the Army, suggested me to use the
RTI for this. During my net search in this regard, I happened to find this
RTI forum and sought advice. I would appreciate if you could guide me through the produre and the questions formulation for the
RTI application to the RPO Ghaziabad enquiring the steps taken or not taken by them; and also an
RTI to the SSP Noida about the verification report prepared by his subordinate passport verification sub inspector.
Thanks and regards,
Rupa
