Quick Summary

This discussion concerns a first appeal filed under Section 19(1) of the RTI Act after the PIO/PDO failed to respond. The appeal was rejected by the Executive Officer, who directed the appellant to appeal to the Public Authority. The appellant questions the correctness of this decision, especially since the Executive Officer is senior to the PDO. Advice is sought on the correct First Appellate Authority and potential legal recourse.
