RTI Application

Hello Experts,
I posted a letter to RTI of police dept. for getting copy of base complaint made by complaint, which is under inspection. RTI send me reply, because of under investigation they cannot provide it. If I'll not receive complaint then how can I defend myself.


Quick Summary
This discussion revolves around difficulties in obtaining a copy of a police complaint via an RTI application, especially when the matter is under investigation. While the police department has refused to provide the document citing ongoing investigations, the user seeks to understand their legal standing and how to defend themselves without this crucial information. Advice is given on filing a proper RTI application with a court fee stamp and the possibility of filing an RTI appeal if the initial request is denied.

1. Letter is insufficient. File Proper RTI application affixed with court fee stamp of 10/-, addressed to the "Public Information Officer" (PIO) of the Police Dept.

2. IF above is done properly and since Police reply is not favourable, you may prefer to file RTI Appeal against reply of PIO, with the "RTI Appellate Authority"

Hello,

Police has rightly refuse your application under Right to Information Act. Police cannot give document in investigation.
