Wrong information provided by cpio

hello,

ramesh singh,

you have to file the appeal first no consumer court at all, first appeal

yes you can file complaint in consumer forum, alleging the service deficiency.

Sorry, You cannot approach Consumer Forum at present as there is remedy of appeal under Sec.19 of RTI Act, as decided in National Forum.

Now, prefer First appeal specically quoting incorrect informtion and then go for Final appeal. as Sec.19 and Sec.20 can offer remedy of disciplainary action, penallity against concerned PIO.

If you are lucky the National Forum decision may get overruled once again as PIL is coming for hearing on 31st.

You have remady under R.T.I Act so you can not file complaint under the provisions of C.P.Act. File appeal u/s 19 of R.T.I.Act.

Thanks a lot sir for the reply you provided...

Section 19 of the RTI act provides remedy in case satisfactory reply is not provided...moreover appeal under section 19 is to be filed within 30 days of getting information from CPIO...but in case I find at a later stage say after one year  later that the information provided to me was wrong...and the CPIO is not ready to consider my appeal saying it should have been filed within one month...mean while in case I have incurred financial loss by virtue of wrong information...then what is the remedy??? Please guide me on this matter...

Dear Singh,

You can file complaint inConsumer court for non furnishing, incomplete and misleading information provided by PIO under section 12 of CP act. 

Even though the apeeal is provided in the RTI act the jurisidriction of Consumer forum is not barred by law, Please refer to Section 3 of CPA 1986.

You can file an application for condoning delay and take a chance, if FAA feels that the reason is genuine, you may be lucky.  Otherwise you can file another fresh  RTI application.
