To,
The First Appellate Authority,
[Name and Address of the Public Authority]
Sub: First Appeal under Section 19 of the Right to Information Act, 2005
Dear Sir/Madam,
I am writing to file a first appeal under Section 19 of the Right to Information Act, 2005, as I have not received any response to my RTI application even after 50 days of filing the same. The details of the RTI application are as follows:
Name and Address of the Applicant: [Your Name and Address]
Date of Filing the RTI Application: [Date of Filing]
Name and Address of the Public Authority: [Name and Address of the Public Authority]
Details of the Information Sought: [Details of the Information Sought]
Payment of Fees: [Details of the Payment of Fees]
I would like to bring to your notice that the PIO has deliberately not replied to my RTI application, which was sent by ordinary post and was recorded in the dispatch register with a Rs. 5 stamp. I had requested for information related to a scam, and it appears that the PIO is intentionally withholding the information.
I request you to direct the PIO to provide me with the requested information and copies of the relevant documents within the time limit prescribed under the Act. I also request you to initiate appropriate action against the PIO for delaying the provision of information and not complying with the provisions of the Act.
I have attached a copy of my RTI application and the postal receipt for your reference. Kindly acknowledge the receipt of this appeal and provide me with a copy of your order.
Thanking you.
Yours sincerely,
[Your Name]
