RTI by accused for status of provate complaint

By asking information under RTI, you will only get information as to the status of the particular case. However, it will not serve your purpose to expedite the matters.  For that you will have to contest the matters as when called for. Better to engage an Advocate on your behalf who can  guide you in proper manner.

Hello Harshada,

Thanks for your reply, by asking Information through RTI, usually pushes the government machinery to perform, other thing is thatTill receiving summons accused cant respond for the same.

I spoke to qutie a few advocate but they have diffferent opinion, They think that untill you get summon, you should not react, because it may entangle you.

I want my wife to answer for the allegation.

But if RTI works some action will be perform and I summon will be issued, then only I can proceed.

I have often seen that lawyers are quite reluctant to invoke the RTI act because this is an encroachement on their own arbitrary method of functioning. Moreover, a large number of them are quite shady, often collude with opposing lawyers against their own clients.

This act hits them right where it hurts them most. You can apply for an information you require spending just Rs 10 as RTI stamp. But the lawyer will ask you for exorbitant fees (in general, the maximum you can afford to pay) for obtaining the same information via a court order.

In my honest opinion, the whole system stinks.

Best of luck

Vishwa.
