Ld Counsels,
If RTI is denied what can be the next step. In my case there was one complaint filed, based on which statements were taken from both the sides, later the compliant was withdrawn. After one month another complaint was filed then a FIR is registered based on the second complaint.
I require all information regarding the first complaint, and the reasons for withdrawal and the statement copies. since this is a complaint that was withdrawn already can police refuse RTI citing that it will hamper investigation as per sec7 of RTI.
The FIR which was registered based on second complaint doesnot accompany any statements or other documents.
If RTI denied, I have proceedings pending in family court, when can I ask the family court to give directions to police for giving me the criminal case papers,
Please clarify.

Sir, If the PIO refuses to reply to an application made under RTI, you can prefer an first appeal to the appellate authority and then if the result is not fruitful you can file second appeal before State Information Commission.
