Two threads on the same topic/subject have been merged.

After the SC order re Sec 18 (in 2012), the Commission cannot order disclosure of information while disposing off complaints. It can only do so while disposing second appeals. (Probably that is why you are under the impression that Sec 18 was abolished - when no such thing has happened). You can...

1. If he is in Defence, you can ask for inspection of his service record 2. Also check if he has a voter card. If yes, then check the website of the relevant State Election Commission (links available on the Election Commission of India website). Some of them display the Voter ID cards.

Please read: http://gic.guj.nic.in/Decisions/Proactive_Disclosure_Dt.21-12-2012.pdf This is what it says about "Norms of functioning": (iv) The norms set by the Commission for the discharge of its functions. The Commission hears appeals and complaints generally on first come basis....

Please upload the PIOs reply also - it will help our members to guide you further since that will show why the PIO asked you to come in person. Also read some of the threads, whose links are given below your post.

Used to be. She has left and now there is a new FAA. He is not the Transparency officer. In fact no one in the CIC knows who is the Transparency Officer.

Check this document: http://rpsc.rajasthan.gov.in/PDF_Reports_Files/RTI_Handbook_2013.pdf Details of FAA are on Page 33. Also read that whole document !

That order of the CIC regarding "Transparency Officer" has been stayed by the Delhi HC. Just wait till a final judgment comes through and then decide to proceed further.

In case 2, the part of RTI is already over. Maybe media exposure will help.

Make a direct Complaint under Sec 18 for both the issues.

As per various judgments of the Supreme Court, a subordinate legislation (ie Rules framed under a Act) cannot go over and above what the parent act states. But, as we know, even HCs are not following the Law. Allahabad HC is not the only one. Even CIC does not want to hear my 15 Complaints...

Case 1: You can file as many first appeals as you want. Filing another first appeal is like having a second chance at giving an exam - you still have the second appeal stage open to you. If you straight away file a second appeal, then there is only one chance - because you can never go back and...

If your objective is to get "information" then filing a second appeal (after completing first appeal process) is the option to choose. After the SC order re Sec 18 (in 2012), the Commission cannot order disclosure of information while disposing off complaints. It can only do so while disposing...

You are correct on all counts. File a second appeal and bring out these facts in your grounds of appeal. Also state that this is against the "principles of natural justice". Pray for the PIO and the FAA to be sent for RTI training since they are blatantly violating the RTI Act. Hopefully, the...

If you know the location of the properties, then you can get the details from the Sub Registrars office located in that area. Without even knowing the approximate location, it will be impossible to get the details using RTI. Also consult your lawyer.

Your post has been merged with another existing thread on the same topic/subject. Please read the full thread above. It has several pages.

You can try by filing a RTI application with the government office where he could have submitted any of those ID proofs. In your RTI application, do not directly ask for that particular ID proof. Just ask for: "Inspection of the entire file related to........ At the end of the Inspection, I will...

The IT department is not exempted from the RTI Act. However, IT returns of other people will not be given to you. Even if you get the IT returns, what will you do ? Best is to lodge a Tax Evasion petition with the nearest IT office.

Clearly mention in your first appeal, that it is a Life or Liberty case.

This portal is only meant for discussing issues related to the RTI Act 2005. You can read some of the threads whose links are given just below your post.

Yes, that addendum looks OK. Go ahead.
