Dear Sir,
I have already filed some RTIs in this regard and has even gone for second
appeal (SA) with CIC which is yet to be taken up for hearing.
THIS IS THE REASON WHY I WANT TO BE ANONYMOUS. I ALSO FEEL THE RTI FEE IS
Rs. 10/- FOR EACH RTI QUERY AND IS NOT FOR AN RTI APPLICATION.
Hence I request you to pl. file this RTI on my behalf.
Thanking you and expecting your EARLY reply,
Yours sincerely,
R. GANESAN.

Dear Sir,
I understand your frustration. But I am still unable to understand why this application need to be anonymous.
My understanding is that you want us to file this RTI, so that more people can file this application.
Do you perceive any threats or harm to your life, if you file this RTI ?
RTI Anonymous is an organization, meant to protect and shield RTI Requestors/Activists, who are threatened with physical harm.
Dear Sir,
Yes, as I found some irregularities vide my earlier RTI applications and apprehend some threats both physical and in other forms (remember I am one of the aspriant for fellowship), I want to remain anonymous.
Apart from physical threats, there may be other reasons why RTI applicatants prefer anonymity. I wish RTI Anonymous take into account those factors also.
My wish is that RTI Anonymous helps to build open and just society by considering threats other than physical.
The RTI fee is Rs. 50/- + Rs. 25/- towards speed post charges. Pl. help me early.
Thanks.
There is no need to pay 25 for speed post..
Kindly send us your copy of second appeal to CIC. Also, did you file first appeal – in case you have pl send us copy of first appeal. have you sent a reminder after you did not hear from CIC? pl give all these details for our complete understanding of your case. tks
Dear Sir,
I have sent you a personal email as the information is too confidential to share.
Pl. help me EARLY if possible for you.
Thanks.

My mail id is rajendra@theasthra.org
I went through your mail. Don’t you think the information you have recd under RTI would be the same even if we file it? Also, RTI allows you to get information. If you want action based on the information you have to seek legal intervention. Please let me know your views before i give my final opinion
Please file your RTI in the proper format and send it to us
If you feel that there is something wrong with the Selection process then be more specific..
E.g.
1) Ask for question paper, answer key and answer sheet of all candidate, for the selection exam held during MON-YYYY of all ( or you can ask for answer sheet of one person whom you doubt has illegally entered into phd )
There are many SIC, and CIC decision which directs to furnish answersheets.
