+<WRAP info>**Direct answer.** File RTI to **Reviewing / Accepting Authority**. Ask for my ACR/APAR copy, representation disposal, grading-distribution for cohort.</WRAP>
+<WRAP collapse>
+===== Legal framework =====
+  * **DoPT ACR Rules 2011** — communication of grading mandatory.
+  * **Dev Dutt v. UoI (SC 2008)** — adverse remarks communication.
+</WRAP>
+===== 5 questions to ask =====
+  - My ACR/APAR for last 5 years.
+  - Representation disposal.
+  - Cohort grading distribution (anonymised).
+  - Reviewing-authority remarks.
+  - Evaluator pattern.
+===== Template =====
+<code>
+To: The Public Information Officer, Reviewing / Accepting Authority
+Subject: Application under §6 RTI Act 2005 — ACR/APAR copy
+My ACR/APAR for FY [..]-[..] — please furnish (1) copy, (2) representation disposal, (3) cohort distribution, (4) reviewing remarks, (5) evaluator pattern.
+Fee: Rs.10 by IPO/cash.
+</code>
+===== Common mistakes =====
+  * Forgetting to invoke **Dev Dutt v. UoI**.
+  * Skipping **representation** if "good" — even good grading can be revised; RTI lets you track.
+===== Case law anchors =====
+  * **Dev Dutt v. UoI (2008) 8 SCC 725** — "good" grading is adverse; must be communicated.
+  * **Sukhdev Singh v. UoI (Del HC 2013)** — representation framework.
+===== Pro tips =====
+  * Pair with **DoPT Master Circular**.
+  * Unionise for cohort pattern.
+===== FAQ =====
+  * **Q: No ACR communicated — valid promotion denial?** No per Dev Dutt — challengeable.
+  * **Q: Mid-year change of reporting officer?** RTI for **handover entry**.
