This query is : Resolved
I filed an RTI application to DPIO asking about an NGO. The NGO has a branch in our district and the HQ is at Kolkata. The DPIO forwarded the application to Social Welfare Department and Mass Education Department. But those departments returned the application to the DPIO and said, they can not trace the HQ. The HQ (headquarter) is shifted somewhere.The branch is also not informed about the new address and the information I asked is not available in the branch office.
In this situation, what can I do? The DPIO suggested me to file complain to the State Information Commission. I need your suggestion about it.
The NGO is sponsored by Ministry of HRD, GoI. I filed another RTI application to that ministry. But they returned it and said that the court fee stamp is not applicable in that case. They also suggested to file a fresh application with postal order. That I have filed on 25-Nov-09. This application is not answered till now.

Your second application dated 25 Nov. 09 is still pending there and period to respond is one month from the date of receipt of application so no appeal can be filed at this time as this shall be a premature and so you shall have to wait till that period.

You have to wait till reply of your notice dt.25.11.09. If you feel aggrieved anyway by the reply then you can prefer appeal before the appellate authority.
What about your first application?

Goswami jee better to forget about your first application and i would suggest you better to concentrate on your last application sent to Ministry of HRD. Wait till 1st January and by that time if you can't get reply better to prefer a first appeal before the Appellate Authority of Ministry of HRD and he is bound to reply you within 45 days and if you not get reply by that time better to file a second appeal before the CIC, New Delhi.
