This query is : Resolved
Dear Experts,
I sought inspection of records by filing an RTI application . I gave authority letter to my husband to inspect the record but CPIO refused to get the record inspected by my authorized representative on the pretext that there is no provision in RTI Act that an authorized representative can insepect the record on behalf of the applicant. My question is
1.If I give power of attorney to my husband to inspect the record, will it be valid ?
2.Will CPIO have any authority to deny to inspect the record if I give power of attorney to my husband to inspect the record ?
Kindly advise me.
Regards
Mrs R. Yadav

Dear Adv Dhingra Ji,
It is not repeated query sir. Previously I had sought whether an authorized person by applicant can inspect the record . Now I have sought whether after taking power of attorney , my husband can inspect record on my behalf ?

What is the difference between your previous and the present questions, except a bit of twist in the style of question? Previously you stated that you gave authority letter to your husband to inspect the record on your behalf, which was denied by the CPIO, now also you wanted to seek the same information by asking, "whether after taking power of attorney, my husband can inspect record on my behalf."
The result will be the same.
