So, these information are to be sought from the said officer.
Kindly let me know about the proceedings of this application, which I will be obliged for.
The RTI application can be filed. the first question should be: provide copy of her Std X board certificate(as the term `matriculation’ is not used)
yes, but most importantly, whether it was verified from the concerned board/council or not? it must be added in the question.
we can do nothing ,having copy of her certificate. we have to know, if it is fake or not, so above said must be added in the question.
Dear Sir,
I have updated your RTI application as per the advice of Vinitaji and also editted few other points , to make this more effective. Also, I do not think, we can ask how is the person related to any other panchayat member and hence I have deleted it.
Please remember, RTI-Act is only to obtain the relevant documents. You need to use these documents to file a case/complaint. RTI cannot help u in verifying whether the documents, provided by Ms Julie Kumari is fake or real.
Also, since you are from Bihar, I would strongly urge you to watch this video to see how effectively you can file RTI applications over phone.

Anand, the RTI application is absolutely fine. No, you cannot ask about personal relationships under RTI.
Here is an email exchange, between the applicant and answer received by one of our experts (who is a retired Registrar and an Ex-PIO)

Email from the Applicant —
Dear Anand,
Thank you so much for your valuable suggestions. I want to bring two facts in your notice.
1. As per my knowledge,(gained in workshop,addressed by Mr.Arvind kejriwal,some years back) there is a procedure of certificate verification in govt. jobs and one can ask the dept. for its verification. you are pointing out to get copy of the same. How would we come to know its authenticity? again, by sending it to concerned board???
2. As per rules of that service, any relative of panchayat members was not able to apply for the post, while her husband was panchayat member in those days. how this fact could be exposed without that question?
They have made regulations, a joke and committing malpractices on a daily basis. I don’t deny, you are expert but I too have the minimum knowledge of what RTI is for, and what not. kindly convince me over this. I don’t think, this is only for getting xerox copy of documents.

Reply back from one of our esteemed experts –
Hi Anand,
Regarding verification of certificates in Govt: This task arises at the time of initial
appointment of a person to Govt service. At the time of joining, the person has to produce the originals
of all the certificates he has made along with the application for appointment. These copies of
certificates are verified with reference to the originals and a certificate to that effect recorded on of the
certificates with reference to the copies which will form the service record of the person. Only in the
case of a doubt as to the genuineness of the originals of the certificate, the issue will be taken up discretely
with the concerned University/Board/School. Also if somebody makes a written complaint about the
genuineness of the certificate at any time later, this verification is made with reference to such bodies
which has issued the certificate.
Regarding the second question, whether the spouse can apply for a position where the other spouse
is already in appointment in the same office: Any person who fulfills the norms of recruitment set in the
advertisement, can apply for the post if he/she is otherwise qualified. But the selection committee
interviewing such a candidate should not have a member who is closely related to the candidate. This
is the position in any Govt Department.
In the case before our hand, we cannot ask under RTI whether the certificate is fake or not.
In spite of this, if the person knows that the certificate produced is a fake one, he can complain to the police,
or Vigilance Dept. Also we cannot ask under RTI about the relationship of a person with the other.
Many thanks Anand ji, Vinita ji and all team members. Kindly let me know, whether it was filed before the said officer or not? plz.
kindly let me know, was it sent to the said officer?
