Citation Formatter — RTI case-law citations, 2026

Citation Formatter is the right tool when you have a case name (e.g., 'Bhagat Singh v. CIC') and want the proper SCC / AIR / DLT citation for use in your appeal. Saves you 5 minutes per appeal.

• Open the tool → — free, no login, instant draft.
• Or use AwaazRTI for voice input in 11 Indian languages.
• Or All free RTI tools.

• You have a stuck application — government department not replying to your routine query.
• You have been told “we cannot share this” — a PIO has cited Section 8 without proper severance / public-interest balance.
• You want to build a case — for a journalist scoop, an activist campaign, or your own civil-court matter.
• You are a first-time RTI filer — the tool guides you through the right authority + the right questions.

The tool's drafting engine is grounded in:

• Right to Information Act, 2005 — full text
• Bhagat Singh v. CIC (Delhi HC, 2007) — procedural objections cannot defeat RTI
• CPIO Supreme Court v. Subhash Chandra Agarwal (2020) 5 SCC 481 — Constitution Bench on §8(1)(j)
• Girish Ramchandra Deshpande v. CIC (2013) 1 SCC 212 — personal information test
• Anjali Bhardwaj v. UoI (2019) 9 SCC 199 — IC accountability + transparent appointments

• All RTI tools
• Sample RTI letters index
• Case-law database (300+)
• Master directory of landmark RTI rulings
• RTI Act, 2005
