what to do Query regarding first appeal

[mohdmaruf 0]

Sir,

 

I have applied rti request on 7/10/2017 to Office no-1 online and the query is related to Office no-2 which is divisional office of office No.1. Office no.1 replied me on 10/11/2017 that rti request sent to Office no.2 but no reply received

after completing 30 days. Than i preferred first appeal on 23/11/2017 and applied the same

to office no 1 online since no online rti option is available for office no 2.

Now office no 1 replied on 8/12/2017 that appeal related to office no 2 so apply appeal to appellate authority of office no 2.

 

 

should i go for offline rti appeal to office no 2 or any other alternative??

 

Thankyou

Finding out correct PIO  (do not say offices as it may confuse) is the responsibility of citizen by going through their website.

Who ever receives RTI application, first appeal within same public authority (Whether it is No.1 or No.2 or Zero) they have to endorse the application/appeal to the concerned under intimation to applicant/appellant.

When you are aware that your application is pending with PIO No.2, you have to file first appeal to FAA over PIO 2.  There is no confusion.  You may even file complaint now to IC, if the issue remains unsolved.
