Re: [HumJanenge] UNJUST REJECTION OF RTI APPLICATION !

Mr Gupta,

The RTI Act 2005 very categorically prescribe the RTI fees I don't see any reason why one should be so generous by afflixing excess amount.

Plz note: 10 other applicants will do things. Not under the preview of the RTI Act and blame the PIO for rejection. 

Plz when we say that RTI Act should be implemented in totality, it means that we should be abiding by it as well. Bcoz together we can make a difference.

However it true that applicants across the country sometime leave the IPO blank citing that some Public authorities want RTI fees in favour of _______ . It has been observed that many a times the PIO oblige and accept the IPO with favouring so and so blank. But the point here is that if we insist that PIO should adhere to the RTI Act than we also hv some responsibility to follow.

Plz do not take it personally.

UNJUST REJECTION OF RTI APPLICATION!

 

An Appellant sent an RTI application to Deptt. of Excise, Delhi Govt. enclosing the postal order of Rs. 20/- instead of Rs. 10/- without filling the payee column.  Postal order of higher value was sent to cover the cost of photocopies of documents, if any, and this fact was mentined in the RTI application also.

 

The PIO has rejected the application on the grounds of postal order of higher demonition and for leaving the payee column blank.

 

Though a fresh RTI has been sent removing the aforesaid objections but I want to know if any appeal can be sent to FAA or CIC for rejecting the appln on the above grounds.
