If you do not receive the information you requested in the response to your Right to Information (RTI) application, you may consider the following steps: Check the Response: Review the response carefully to ensure that the information you sought is not included. Sometimes, the information may be provided but might be overlooked. Seek Clarification: If the response is unclear or incomplete, you may seek clarification from the public information officer (PIO) or the relevant authority. You can write a letter or send an email to request additional information or clarification on the points that were not adequately addressed. First Appeal: If you are dissatisfied with the response or if you do not receive any response within the stipulated time frame, you can file a first appeal. The first appeal should be addressed to the appellate authority, which is usually a senior officer in the public authority. Drafting the First Appeal: Clearly state the grounds for your appeal, such as non-receipt of information, incomplete information, or dissatisfaction with the response. Attach a copy of your original RTI application, the response received, and any other relevant documents. Submit the First Appeal: Submit the first appeal to the designated appellate authority within the time frame specified by the RTI Act. The time frame for filing an appeal is usually within 30 days from the date of receiving the response or from the date when the response was expected. Second Appeal (if necessary): If the first appeal is also unsuccessful or if you do not receive a response within the prescribed time, you may file a second appeal to the Information Commission at the central or state level, as applicable. Escalate to the Information Commission: Lodge a second appeal by providing details of your case, the responses received, and the grounds for dissatisfaction. The Information Commission will review your case and can direct the public authority to provide the necessary information. Legal Recourse (if necessary): In extreme cases, where there is a violation of the RTI Act, legal recourse may be an option. Consult with a legal professional for advice on whether filing a writ petition in a court is appropriate in your situation. Remember to keep copies of all communication, including your RTI application, responses, and appeals, for your records. It's essential to adhere to the timelines specified in the RTI Act for filing appeals to ensure that your case is processed effectively.
