karira replied to a thread Transparency officer and CPIO are same person. in Ask for RTI Query

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.

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.

karira replied to a thread need help to get information in Ask for RTI Query

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...

karira replied to a thread When the CPIO replies - How to manage? in Ask for RTI Query

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...

karira replied to a thread regarding complaint u/s 18 of r.t.i. act-2005 in Ask for RTI Query

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...

karira replied to a thread RTI Cell himself decides First Appeal under RTI Act in Ask for RTI Query

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...

Several times - both on this forum and also offline, I have suggested that an appellant can file a first appeal for each and every response (or no response) of the PIO. This is because of the wordings of Sec 19(1). Many have disagreed. Attached is an order of the FAA of the CIC (Central...

Therefore, if your motive is to get information, then file a Second Appeal under Sec 19 only. On the other hand, if your...
