Indian Kanoon - What to do if your RTI application gets no reply - LawRato

You maybe in a position where you have filed an RTI Application but not received a reply for the same or are not satisfied by the reply. For that purposes as well the RTI Act puts down mechanism to tackle such situations.

The RTI Act, 2005 sets forth guidelines and procedures for applicants who have not been given the information they seek in time or are not satisfied with the information provided to them. An individual for the very same can go through a chain of appeals after the initial time period of 30 days to be supplied with an answer lapses.

The RTI Act, 2005 also makes provision that if an applicant gives
an application to an Assistant CPIO or the wrong public authority, 5 days are added to the generally prescribed time frame.

If an applicant is not satisfied with the response received or does not get a response at all or in the prescribed time frame then an individual should file an appeal with the relevant first appellate authority within 30 days of the expiry of the 30 day time period to supply information. Such an appeal will be reviewed and disposed off within 30 days of receipt, or 45 days in exceptional circumstances. If the appeal is still not disposed off or if you are still unsatisfied, one can file a second appeal to Central Information Commission. this appeal must be done away within 90 days from the date of the last day of the 30 or 45 day time period of the first appeal.

Getting the information that you have asked for is your right and by way of the RTI Act it has been made sure that the information so asked for is provided to an applicant. Even if the asked for information is not provided within the stipulated time frame then a series of appeals have also been put into place to make sure the information so asked for is provided.

श्रीमान जी,

क्या कोई अभ्यर्थी अपनी ओर से सुनवाई के लिए किसी एक व्यक्ति को केंद्रीय सूचना आयोग में भेज सकता है?

मैं ये सवाल इसलिए पूछ रहा हूं क्योंकि कई आर.टी.आई. एक्टिविस्ट की हत्या हुई है।

जब वह भ्रष्ट व्यवस्था के खिलाफ कुछ गोपनीय जानकारी की मांग करता है?

केंद्रीय सूचना आयोग ( C.I.C ) भी उन्हें ऐसी जानकारी प्रदान करने में मदद नहीं करती और उन्हें इस संबंध में अदालत का दरवाजा खटखटाने को कहा जाता है!


इसलिए कोई ध्यान नहीं देता, पैसे की कमी के कारण कोई भी मुकदमा दर्ज नहीं करता है!


दूसरी ओर बाहर ( C. I. C) उसकी हत्या कर दी जाति है!


यह केंद्रीय सूचना आयोग में पेंडेंसी का एक मुख्य कारण है!


शिकायतकर्ता की सुरक्षा के लिए केंद्रीय सूचना आयोग क्या करता है?


क्या कोई प्रक्रिया है कि कोई शिकायतकर्ता अपनी पहचान बताए बिना गुप्त रूप से केंद्रीय सूचना आयोग से सूचना प्राप्त कर सकता है?


1.बिहार में 10 साल में 20 आरटीआई कार्यकर्ताओं की हत्या


2.गुजरात आर.टी.आई कार्यकर्ता घायल, अवैध रेत खनन के आरोपी के बेटे की हत्या




और भी बहुत से उदाहरण हैं

पत्नी ने अपने पति जो पुलिस कांस्टेबल है की सैलरी सीट और अवकाश का विवरण RTI और प्रथम अपीलीय अधिकारी से मांगा मगर दोनों जगह से मना कर दिया गया कि ये कह कर की जानकारी पर्सनल है प्रार्थना पत्र देकर मना किया गया है सूचना देने से तो पुलिस अधीक्षक महोदय के सिग्नेचर के साथ आता है कि नही दिया जा सकता है
क्या ये सूचना व्यक्तिगत है जो पत्नी नही जान सकती है
बिना अवकाश के आना जाना होता है कई कांड मार पीट किया जाता है गाड़ियों का गबन करना बार बार डयूटी के दौरान घर पर आना जाना पूछने पर कोई कुछ बिगाड़ नही सकता जैसे जवाब देना तो क्या ऐसे मामलों में पुलिस अधीक्षक महोदय का भी शामिल होना हो सकता है क्या
जवाब हो तो रिप्लाई जरूर करे सूचना कैसे मिलेगी जब सूचना मिलेगी तभी तो सभी कांडो का खुलासा होगा
