Hi Experts,
My brother have a marital dispute. Her wife filed false dowry harrasment case agains us. My Brother FIL working in Central Government and claimed that he had spent Rs. 15lac in her daughter marriage.
My Brother filed an RTI application to his deptt for take action and suspend him for giving dowry and admitting himself for the violation of CCA rule 1965. Today we got a letter with Heading Legal Notice directly from his Lawyer (not from court) that
1. Departt of FIL had sent a letter to us but we have not received any letter direcly from his office.
2. That my Brother cannot take a personal information of a person without his/her consent.
3. That the RTI's filed my brother will not help him to prove his innocence in court of law.
4. That my brother have no right to file an RTI application directly to his FIL office.
5. That with help of RTI my brother delbirately and intentionally disturbing his client (FIL).
In prayer he mentioned with some harsh words that if my brother will not stop marking RTI in next 15days he will take legal action against on us.
As far as my knowledge is concern a citizen have a full right to file an RTI application. Since FIL is a public servant and claimed to spent such huge amount we had approached his Deptt that he is not an income tax payee and violate the code of conduct of CCS rule.
All of us are on regular bail and charegs yet not frame. Can we send a direct reply to FIL advocate that since my brother is a citizen of India he have a full right to file an RTI application and he is not a competent person or authortity to send such notices directly to us without taking considertaion of court and giving indirectly threats to us.
Pls Respond.
