Email appeal on reply to a rti application

Hi,

I had raised an RTI appeal to a public sector company and recieved a reply which didn't contain the information.

I had mentioned my Email ID in the application. Hence I sent Email Appeal for the same. But I got a reply for my

mail saying

"E-mail Appeal can not be considered as it is not duly signed.Only signed appeals can be considered under RTI Act 2005.Hence ,we request you to kindly forward us the duly signed appeal copy."

Please suggest me if Email appeals are valid or not, Since we would have mentioned Email ID's on the RTI Application. and any clause to support it in RTI guidelines will be much helpful. As I need to produce that documents to court to file a case. and they are delaying the information deliberatly as they are at fault

Regards

suresh

Dear Shailesh Kr. Shah

CAN YOU PROVIDE EXTRACT OF RTI PROVISIONS WHICH PROHIBITS APPLICANT TO FILE AN APPEAL THROUGH E MAI.

ANY WAY RTI APPLICANT CAN SUBMIT HIS SIGNED SCANNED COPY OF APPEAL. WHICH CAN NOT BE DENIED BY FAA.

There is no provsion about restriction on first appeal through e-mail.

According to the RTI act 2005, if you want to appeal through email then you should file the report online on rti.gov.in which is more authentic and proper way to file appeal than filing it through email.
