Action on rti?

Guest (Querist) 23 January 2012 This query is : Resolved 
If one files an RTI but has to accept the disputed decision of authorities ,Can the matter be brought in court afterwards after getting the reply to RTI?or once the decision is accepted by the party,can authorities take the plea that now no action can be taken against it in court?
Kiran Kumar (Expert) 23 January 2012
if sufficient or the required information has not been provided against an application under RTI Act then certainly an appeal can be preferred before the appellate authority.

you can not be compelled to accept incomplete information.
Raj Kumar Makkad (Expert) 23 January 2012
There is no role of Courts under RTI Act. If information has not been provided within the stipulated time or not provided as demanded then the applicant has separate remedy to file appeal before appellate authority and lastly up to National Commission.

The department can never take any plea regarding supply or non supply or action of non action of applicant before court because department has to produce its relevant record as and when demanded by any court of law.

yes., if the given information is insufficient or irrelevant mean you can approach the appellate authority. also you are entitled to claim compensation..

The only route is

PIO -> 1st Appeal -> 2nd Appeal to Commission -> Writ in High court.

what if we wish to challenge action taken by govt in our sub. matter regarding which we have given acceptance now because of their incomplete reply to our RTI due to which we could not challenge the matter in court before giving acceptance?Now we have filed another RTI, so AFTER OUR ACCEPTANCE OF THE DECISION OF GOVT. OBN THIS MATTER CAN WE STILL CHALLENGE IT IN COURT?
