Please see the link given in post # 227 - just above your post.

Yes you can. Contact the CIC sometime in July 2013 for getting a invitation.

Link is not opening. Please give the main link.

CIC is the only authority to complain against any CPIO in a PA under the Central Govt. (including the CICs own). Just for your info - I have 6 second appeals and complaints against the CPIO of the CIC and hearing is fixed for 28 May 2013.

Where did you see the list of pending cases ? Please give the link.

Vasanth, You are now a old member of this portal. Please do some search also ! Here is the link: Check Status of RTI Complaints / Appeals: Central Information Commission (CIC) Online

Please read: http://www.rtiindia.org/forum/112682-follow-new-central-rti-rules-strictly-while-submitting-rti-second-appeal-cic.html Ensure that your second appeal is complete in all respects. Make 4 copies. One to the CIC, one to the PIO, one to the FAA and one for yourself. The proof of...

That means that the appeal has been admitted. If all goes as per schedule, the hearing will be after 6 to 8 months.

It should come up for hearing in the APIC within 3 or 4 months. Filing a RTI application will not serve any purpose because stock answer will be that "information not available".

Please read post # 2203 above !

Just take your RTI application and the first appeal. You have prayers in the first appeal. Just stick those prayers and insist with the FAA that he must direct the PIO to provide all information. During the first appeal just concentrate on getting the information - and not for any remedial...

Follow the suggestion given in the second para of post # 2 above in this thread.

"Larger public interest" is not the criteria for defining a public authority. It is only required to be established when information is denied under Sec 8 of the RTI Act.

Just file a RTI application with the PIO of that office and ask for the inspection of the entire file(s) related to............................. (For every correspondence on a subject, a new file is opened or the letter goes into an existing file)

Read the SC judgment carefully. Then go back to the SIC and ask him to show you where has the SC ordered that penalty cannot be imposed when entertaining a complaint under Sec 18 ? Cant they even read and interpret a SC judgment properly ? If they cant even do that, how are they writing and...

No other alternative. Activists in MP have done it. Activists in UP have done it. Earlier, activists in AP, Gujarat and Goa had also done it.

Dont write anything to the PIO. Just file that first appeal and send him a copy.

It is not necessary for you to attend the hearing. However, your chances of success during first appeal (or any appeal) increase dramatically if you appear in person. I would suggest, please attend and make a strong argument. Please read: ...

In general, if you are not satisfied with the information provided by the CPIO, it is better to file a first appeal. Under RTI, the application is to be filed with CPIO only and he is duty bound to respond to it.

So, someone has to build up a water tight case by categorising and putting a value to all elements and justify "substantially financed or controlled". No one has done that till now. There is a old thread on the BCCI issue running here: ...

A good alternative (can be tried by someone) is to not ask for completion of service (ie provision of info) in the Consumer Fora. Just ask for compensation for deficiency of service. DCRDc Karur has given an order available here: Karur DCRDC compensation on 05 Apr 2013 - Downloads - RTI INDIA-...
