Did You Not Receive a Reply to Your RTI Application?
If you have filed an RTI application under the Right to Information Act, 2005 and have not received a reply within the prescribed time limit, or if the information provided is incomplete, misleading, incorrect, or unsatisfactory, you have the legal right to file a First Appeal.
Kanoon Samvad offers professional First Appeal Drafting Services to help applicants prepare a properly structured and legally compliant First Appeal based on their RTI application and supporting records.
What is a First Appeal?
A First Appeal is filed under Section 19(1) of the Right to Information Act, 2005.
A First Appeal may be filed in the following situations:
• No reply received within the prescribed time limit.
• Information provided only partially.
• Incorrect or misleading information supplied.
• Unjustified denial of information.
• Excessive fee demanded.
• Incomplete or unsatisfactory response received.
Why is Proper First Appeal Drafting Important?
Many appeals fail because the grounds are not properly drafted or the relevant facts are not presented in a structured manner.
A well-drafted First Appeal clearly highlights:
✓ Details of the original RTI application

✓ Reasons for non-disclosure of information
✓ Relevant legal grounds and facts
