Rti application on else's cheating complaint

RAJESH CHOPRA (Querist) 28 May 2014 This query is : Resolved
Sir,

Can I file an RTI application asking police for action taken for a cheating complaint filed by some other person which is pending with them for last 11 months.

If yes, Do I need to file a separate RTI application asking as to why no action has been taken in case I recv reply fm police that application is still pending or this question be included in the first application itself.

Thanks

RTI is meant for seeking information. You may file complaint or seek action basing on the information received.

The provisions of RTI Act are meant for seeking information and not for filing complaint, please be clear in your mind.

While the case is pending investigation, the police may not divulge information citing investigation is in progress. Further more, information on such issues to third party without involving larger interest of public are generally not entertained, but try.
