Re: [HumJanenge] RTI Act -Se. 19 First Appeal: Advocate not allowed to represent

you send your submissions to the appellate authority with request to
allow exemption from physical presence and also decide while taking
note of your submissions and documents on record.
Let him decide whatever he wishes. He is required to take note of your
submissions.
Also send me details of the PIO and public authority if it is central
government related PA.
