This query is : Open
Some informations were sought regarding a temple from HR & CE Dept of Tamilnadu which is controlling that temple by Devotees Association (Duly Registered) under RTI The information has been denied under Sec 3 of RTI Act and citing the case "Inder Grover vs Ministry of Railways" (CIC/OK/A/2006/00121 dt 27/06/2006) - The RTI application was made on the Association's letter head but in the application as to the details of the applicant the signatory's personal particulars were mentioned .Even in the declaration the signatory has declared that he is Indian Citizen.
HR & CE Dept in it's letter of denial has failed to mention the name of the first appellate authority.
Whether we should make a fresh RTI application or straight away take up the matter with The State Information Commissioner-
Kindly offer your expert advise please.
