by speed post
To, Mr. Kamlesh C. Varshney ,
The Appellate Authority & The Director ( FT & TR-1) , Room no. 908 , C
wing , Hudco Vishala building , 14 , Bhikaji Cama Place , New Delhi -

Mohan Road , Lucknow , Uttar Pradesh - 226017

Sub.: APPEAL UNDER SECTION 19(1) OF RIGHT TO INFORMATION ACT 2005

Sir ,
Please be informed that -
I made a request dated 29 September 2009 as per section 6 of RIGHT TO
INFORMATION ACT 2005 , to the PIO of the Prime Minister's office ,
{ Annexure -1 , copy enclosed } The abovementioned request was
accompanied with IPO no. 57E 761459 of ten rupees and was sent vide
SPEED POST no. SP EU708579222 IN dated 29-09-09 ,

• Vide letter no. RTI/2003/2009-PMR dated 15-10-09{ Annexure -2 ,
copy enclosed } ,The CPIO of PMO transferred my request letter dated
29 September 2009 to the Secretary to GOI , Deptt. of Revenue ,
north block new delhi under section 6(3) of RTI act 2005 ,

• The PIO of your office has sent letter no. F. No.
500/434/RTI/2009-FTD-I dated 10 November 2009 { Annexure -3 , copy
enclosed }to me . A bare perusal of this letter would reveal that The
PIO has -
1- Misinterpret section 8 ( 1 ) ( a ) of RTI act 2005 on point no. 1
of my letter of section 6

The PIO has written that communication between the swiss bank and the
GOI is the information, disclosure of which would prejudicially
affect the sovereignty and integrity of India, the security,
strategic, scientific or economic interests of the State, relation
with foreign State or lead to incitement of an offence

I strongly raise my objections agianst the pio's order . Infact the
disclosure of this information would reveal black faces of the corrupt
of india by unearthing the black money that shall demoralise such
practices in future and in the long run it shall go a long way off to
strengthen true democratic values.

so please punish the PIO and furnish me information required by me
i.e. the certified copies of all communication between the swiss bank
and the GOI in larger public interest .

2- Grossly violated section 6 (3) of RTI act 2005. On point no. 2 and
3 of my letter of section 6

The PIO has written that the information required by me does not
exists with your office. In this case he was duty bound to transfer
my letter of section 6 to the concerned PIO/PIOs as per section 6(3)
of the RTI Act 2005 ,

By not transferring these two points of my letter of section 6 , the
PIO has grossly violated the RTI act 2005 , so punish the PIO and
transfer my application as per section 6(3) of the rti act to the
concerned PIO

Hence this appeal under section 19(1) is being sent to the you to -
1. Receive the appeal and inquire into the matter ,
2. Ensure that I should get the required documents as per section 7(9)
of the RTI act and that too free of charge as per section 7(6) of RTI
act 2005 ,
3. Punish the Respondent PIO (for non-compliance of the act )as per
provisions of the act.

Thanks,
