+<WRAP center round info 95%>
+**Every Monday morning** we pick one RTI fact pattern from a CIC or High Court order issued in the past 7 days and frame it as a drill. **You draft the §7(1) reply or §19(1) order**; we publish the model answer the following Monday.
+</WRAP>
+===== Why this drill =====
+Statute and case law are necessary — but officers improve fastest from
+**practice on facts they haven't seen before**. The legal framework you'll
+need is in the [[:cpd:start|core CPD course]]. This drill applies it.
+  * 1 fact pattern · 200-400 words · 7 days to draft your answer.
+  * Publish your draft in the comments / Q&A board (or save privately to your [[https://righttoinformation.wiki/cpd/notes.html|notes]]).
+  * Model answer published the following Monday with statutory + case-law reasoning.
+  * Best citizen draft (each week) gets pinned at the top.
+===== This week — 21 April 2026 to 28 April 2026 =====
+==== Fact pattern ====
+A citizen in Lucknow filed an RTI on **05 April 2026** with the District Magistrate's office seeking the following five items:
+  - **Total expenditure on official vehicle fuel** by the DM's office for FY 2024-25, broken down by quarter.
+  - **List of files marked "URGENT" by the DM's PA** between 01 January 2026 and 31 March 2026.
+  - **Personal call records of the DM's official mobile number** for the same period.
+  - **Reasons recorded by the DM** for rejecting a previous RTI by the same applicant on 12 February 2026.
+  - **Copies of all letters sent to the State Government** by the DM's office about a specific land-acquisition case in which the applicant is a party.
+The PIO replied on **30 April 2026** (i.e. on Day 26):
+  - For (1): provided the figures.
+  - For (2): refused under §8(1)(j) ("administrative confidentiality").
+  - For (3): refused under §8(1)(j).
+  - For (4): refused — said "you should know what you were told."
+  - For (5): refused under §8(1)(d) ("commercial confidence").
+==== Your task ====
+Draft the **First Appeal under §19(1)** that the citizen should file. Specifically:
+  - Identify the procedural defects in the PIO reply (timeline, reasoning, severability, sub-clause citation).
+  - For each refused item, state the correct statutory test the PIO should have applied.
+  - Cite at least 3 case-law anchors.
+  - Propose what the FAA should order on each item (allow / part-allow / dismiss / remand-for-reasoned-order).
+  - Mention any §20 penalty argument.
+**Submit by**: end of Sunday, 28 April 2026.
+**Format**: paste into a new Q&A thread tagged //weekly-drill-2026-04-21//, or save privately in [[https://righttoinformation.wiki/cpd/notes.html|My notes]].
+**Length**: 400-600 words.
+==== Hint anchors ====
+  * §7(1) timeline + reasoned-refusal requirement — see [[:cpd:module-04|Module 4]].

+  * Severability under §10. [[:cpd:module-07|Module 7]].
+  * FAA speaking-order requirements — Bombay HC 02-March-2026. [[:cpd:module-09|Module 9]].

+===== How weekly drills feed into the course =====

+  * Best participant draft each week gets featured here + cited in next quarter's [[:cpd:quarterly-update|update addendum]].
+  * The drill exercises feed the question pool for the **annual recertification quiz** — completing 12+ drills in a year auto-passes the recert quiz.
