Quick Summary

This discussion explores how an applicant can verify the authenticity of document copies received from a defendant, particularly in the context of the RTI Act 2005. While the RTI Act itself may not directly cover documents from court cases submitted by defendants, advice suggests filing a separate RTI application for inspection of records. Alternatively, one can request court permission to inspect original documents within the court bundle to ensure their genuineness.

If you are not satisfied with the material sent to you by PIO, you can appeal to the next appeal authority to the PIO within 30 days.

You can request the court to permit you to inspect the court bundle to verify the genuineness of the original documents submitted by the defendant before court, you will be permitted to inspect them in the court itself.

Please note that the court will not permit the defendant to file photocopies of the documents.
