Can an RTI be filed against a constable who has been in a particular police station for last 8 years.

If yes kindly guide me with the procedure . The purpose of RTI is to enquire why the constable is at that station for 8 years and not been transferred to any other station. 

thanks

You may ask for policy regarding posting X person at A partuclar police station.u/s 6 of the RTI Act.,2005. No one will give to explaination for "why", since the law provides for information and documents.

You can structure RTI Application without mentioning any name.  You have to file application seeking information under RTI Act as per format  and fees asprescribed by State .  A simple format is as follows.

RTI fee:Rs.10/-  (as prescribed by state RTI rules and regulations  Court fee stamp/Indian postal Order)

2.Provide the names of constables who were continuing more than the prescribed period under directives and reasons available on record for retaining them in same station, over and above prescribed norms.

I agree with the views and opinions of above experts on the issue.  You can very well ask question through RTI but in general and not particularly about any individual which may violate the privacy of the individual.
