Rti or rts ??

Dear members

I had filed for new passport on 10-10-2011.

On 25-10-2011 , I was called for Police Verification and i submitted the documents as demanded by the oficer.

Today its 05-11-2011, the online status shows that : Police verification not recieved..

Now, Punjab has Right to Service Act implemented according to which the passport verification should be complete within 21 days...

So, Should i file for Right to information as to why the police verification report has not filed or Right to Service application ?...RTS being new act i cannot get the requisite info for ways of filing application....
Is date of police verification be counted from date to application submission or police verification date....as former has a record n receipt but no record for police verification date is available with me...

PS: The officer took Rs 500 from me...Infact he demanded that i pay no less than 500 even though i had all documents complete....It was first time i payed & was shocked at his behaviour being so open in demanding money...He forced me to pay...
My father said i wil have to pay or he wil reject form...But Being a well informed memeber of RTI India and against corruption of any form , I had decided i will not pay anything but then.. i got weak infront of the officer...and i payed........ sorry !!

01. Here every department will appoint [Section 3(2)] a designated officer [2(b)] for providing notified services [Section 3(1)].

02. Eligible person shall make application (on prescribed proforma - to be designed by the designated officer for each notified service along along with the enclosures as per checklist- see rule) to the designated officer for obtaining services notified under the Act.

03. As per Section 4 Designated Officer will provide or reject [Section 5(2)] services to the eligible person within given time limit [Section 2(e)] and in case of rejection the application, shall record the reasons in writing and inform the applicant.

04. Any eligible person whose application has been rejected or to whom the notified service has not been provided in the given time limit, may file First Appeal [Section 6(1)] wuth the first Appellate Authority, within 30 days of date of rejection or expiry of the given time limit, as the case may be.

05. Any eligible person whose appeal for availing services has been rejected or to who is not provided the notified service withing the time specified by the First Appellate Authority t, may file Second Appeal [Section 7(1)] with Second Appellate Authority within 30 days of date of such rejection or expiry of the time specified by the First Appellate Authority, as the case may be.

So, watever lil help i could get from the forum , i have made the rti and mailed it to the PIO who is the police commissioner amritsar.

I wanted to send it to the right person, i.e DSP OR DCP ..BUT they are not the PIO/CPIO , i could not get the requisite information from web or from forum , and so I sent it to the only PIO i could locate .

RTI for reference is below with inputs from forum memebers .....

Rti for status of Police Verification

PS: if knowledgeable forum members can be more specific in how to ask as most here are novice and first time users of rti , so its difficult to understand the information...

thnx

You need not worry about the concerned person. For the purpose of RTI PIO is the concerned person. He has powers enough to extract information from who-so-ever holding the same. If the information is lying elsewhere (in another office) he can transfre the RTI Application to that office under Section 6(3). And if the information is lying in his own office, he can use Section5(4) to get the information.
