When to use this tool
- 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.
Citations behind the tool
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
