(ii) the information sought by me is scattered with more than one other PUBLIC AUTHORITY, therefore, my application is not to be transferred to another PUBLIC AUTHORITY under section 6 (3) of RTI Act 2005.
In this regard please note that I have sent same application to all the Ministries/Secretariats but none other has replied like the reply given by you as you are trying to hide the information under one pretext or the other whereas most of them are trying to provide the requisite information. इसे ही कहते हैं, “दिया तले अँधेरा” और “अंधेर नगरी चौपट राजा”, यह है सच्चाई इस देश के गरीब नागरिकों के दुर्भाग्य की.
3. According to your advice I have reframed my application in separate 21 items;
