RTI AND IOC DISTRIBUTION AGENCY

ONE OF MY FRIEND SOUGHT INFORMATION UNDER RTI ACT FROM LOCAL LPG DISTRIBUTION AGENCY, BUT THEY REPLIED "I AM TO INFORM YOU THAT M/S RED HORN GAS AGENCY IS NOT A PUBLIC AUTHORITY AS DEFINE IN RIGHT TO INFORMATION ACT 2005 AND THE INFORMATIONS SOUGHT FOR BY YOU ARE NOT WITHIN THE PERVIEW OF THE RIGHT TO INFORMATION ACT, HENCE THE INFORMATION SOUGHT FOR BY YOU COULD NOT BE FURNISHED". NOW MY QUESTION IS (1)WHETHER THE LPG DISTRIBUTION AGENCY COMES WITHIN THE PERVIEW OF RTI ACT? (2) WHETHER THE LPG DISTRIBUTION AGENCY IS PUBLIC AUTHORITY OR NOT? (3) WHAT IS THE RELIEF?

MR. JAYANTA,

AS PER Sec.2 ( h ) ( d ) OF THE RIGHT TO INFORMATION ACT .2005 THE GAS DISTRIBUTION CENTRE COMES UNDER THE PERVIEW OF THE ACT.

IF NO REPLY ..... THEN AFTER 30 DAYS FILE A COMPLAINT PETITION BEFORE THE STATE INFORMATION COMMISSION OF U'R STATE U/S 18 ( ! ) ( c ) OF THE RTI ACT, 2005.

THERE BY YOU WILL GET REMEDIES.
