Complaints u/s 18 of RTI Act 2005

RTI activists succeed , U.P.S.I.C. starts accepting complaints under
section 18 of RTI act 2005

Res. All ,

Since more than a year , UPSIC was not accepting any complaint under
section 18 of RTI act. All these complaints sent to UPSIC by
info-seekers were being converted into first appeal of section 19 ( 1)
, sent to the First Appellate Authority and the complaint
disposed-off at the time of first hearing.

This way info seekers were big losers of their precious time . If
F.A.A. did not respond to the first appeal ( complaint converted into
appeal by UPSIC ) , the info-seekers had no other option but to move
second appeal to UPSIC and wait for its hearing.

We took up the issue with UPSIC , the Governor and the chief
minister's office . After rounds of talks and correspondence , We have
succeeded in our efforts . Now U.P.S.I.C. has started entertaining
complaints of section 18 .

On my complaint ( upsic receipt no. 26387/2010 ) of section 18 , UPSIC
has registered Complaint no. 133/2010 ( Urvashi Sharma Vs the PIO the
chief minister office of uttar pradesh ) . As per letter no.
651-D-1/ra.su.aa./20 dated 13-07-10 , show cause notice has been
issued to the PIO and date of first hearing is 07-09-2010.

So , Now U can file Complaints u/s 18 with UPSIC n they shall be entertained .

Best regards;
