Therefore, please show me all your files”, he would not do that. In all probability, he would throw you out of his room. Therefore, we need ...

The Head of Department will have to forward your application to the concerned PIO. Do not address your RTI application to the PIO by his name, just in case he gets transferred or a new PIO is designated in his place. 2. Preparing to draft a RTI appli...
