How to file RTI complaints for Manipur

Complaint to State Information Commission (SIC) under 18 (1) of the RTI Act 2005 for Manipur state

Here's a step by step guide to send complaints for Manipur

  • RTI Act confers right to access to information held by a Public Authority on all Citizens. The Act also prescribes remedy, when such a right is denied to a citizen. When an applicant do not receive a decision on his RTI Request within 30 days or is aggrieved by the decision, applicant can prefer an Appeal under Section-19(1) and further appeal under section-19(3) before the Information Commission within time limit. In such an appeal, the applicant can seek relief to supply information by PIO.
  • When an applicant is denied access to information by various reasons specified in Section-18(1), as enumerated below, Applicant can file Complaint directly before the Information Commission.
  • Every Act or Law contains clause for protection of its provisions against non-compliance, and so does RTI Act, 2005. Section 18 of the RTI Act, 2005 assigns duty and power to the Andhra Pradesh State Information Commission (hereinafter referred as CIC or SIC-Andhra Pradesh), as the case may be, to protect the RTI Act against non-compliance by the Public Authority. We can say, CIC or SIC-Andhra Pradesh acts as Guardian of the RTI Act. In this article, I will explain when to file and how to file complaint under RTI Act.
  • Under the complaint proceedings, the Information Commission cannot direct PIO to supply information, but can only conduct an inquiry and impose penalty on PIO or recommend disciplinary action against PIO, for the reasons as enumerated under Sec-20.

When to file a complaint under RTI act for Manipur

The RTI Act 2005, bestows, the Right to seek information from any public authority, to all the citizen of India.

  • If anyone is denied this right, or his/her application is rejected under this Act, or the public authorities have not appointed PIO (Public information Officer, that is required to be appointed in all government offices/departments, under this Act) or he/she is aggrieved by the decision of public authority under RTI Act, he ,may prefer to file a complaint against the decision, non-appointment of PIO and hence refusal of information.
  • Sometimes someone has filed a request for information and his application is accepted by the Public authority but no conclusive decision is arrived at within the stipulated time-frame of 30 (in case of PIO) and 35 (in case of request before APIO), the applicant may prefer to go for complaint under Section 18 (1) of the RTI Act 2005.
  • There may be a case where one’s application has been accepted but the PIO has asked for some unreasonable amount of fees for supplying information, in this case also a complaint is appropriate, to be filed.
  • Many times the PIOs refuse to provide information under RTI act citing irrelevant section of the RTI act, saying exemption clause, in this case, there maybe two scenarios, one is where full information comes under exemption Section 8, whilst in other scenario there may be a part of a record that can be made public without any harm, in this case partial disclosure is allowed, but generally Public authorities suppress information citing section 8 of the RTI Act, here a complaint will work on and partial disclosure may be allowed.
  • In case commission hears a complaint and if it finds that information was denied willfully by the Public information officer without any reasonable cause, the commission, be it SIC or CIC, may impose penalty on them under section 20 of the RTI Act.

Time limits of RTI complaint for Manipur

There is no time-limit for filing a complaint. One may file a complaint immediately after PIO or Public Authority’s failure to comply with a requirement of the RTI Act, without filing a First Appeal or as and when he wish but it is advisable to file the complaint within a reasonable time.

Second Appeal Guideline for Manipur

Anybody who is unhappy or dissatisfied with the decision of the First Appellate Authority can file Second Appeal to the Information Commission at the Centre or respective States. You need to send your appeal to the relevant Information Commission in writing.

As per the RTI Act, an appeal shall be disposed off within 30 days on the receipt of the appeal by the First Appellate Authority or within such extended period not exceeding a total of 45 days from the date of filing thereof, as the case may be, for reasons to be recorded in writing.

An appeal to the Central/ State Information Commission is required to be filed as per Section 19 (3) of the RTI Act against the decision of First Appellate Authority and, therefore, can be filed only after the decision of FAA or after stipulated time limit(45 days) for such decision by FAA has elapsed, as per provisions under Section 19(3) of the RTI Act.

The Act, however, does not prescribe time limit or target for disposal of 2nd appeal/complaint by the Central/ State Information Commission. Appeals/Complaints in the information commissions are disposed off as per the convenience of them.
