Dear @Fayaz

PIO’s response under Section 7(9) RTI Act denies data on unused 1.5" JJM pipe & illegal orchard connections on 1" pipe as ‘voluminous’, justifying irregularities. Appeal to First Appellate Authority (FAA): Executive Engineer, PHE Division Anantnag (PIO’s immediate senior).

First Appeal Format (Send by post/speed post or online rtionline.jk.gov.in within 30 days of PIO reply):

[Your Name & Address]
[Pin: Anantnag, J&K]
[Mobile/Email]
Date: 01/03/2026

To,
The First Appellate Authority/
Executive Engineer,
PHE Division Anantnag,
Jal Shakti (PHE) Department,
Anantnag, Jammu & Kashmir.

Subject: First Appeal under Section 19(1) of RTI Act 2005 – Deemed refusal / Unsatisfactory reply by PIO, PHE Sub-Division Kokernag (RTI dated [DD/MM/YY], Reg: [No]).

Respected Sir,

  1. Vide RTI dated [date], submitted to PIO, PHE Sub-Division Kokernag, sought:
  • Status/inspection reports of 1.5" pipe laid under JJM 2 yrs ago, unused for public.
  • Details of illegal valves/connections on 1" pipe benefiting apple orchards. [Attach RTI copy]
  1. PIO’s reply dated [date from images] refuses info citing Section 7(9) ‘voluminous’, provides no records, biasedly legitimizes illegality without evidence. [Attach PIO reply & images]
  2. Grounds of Appeal:
  • Section 7(9) inapplicable to specific public records under JJM; PIO must segregate non-voluminous data.
  • Reply evasive, opinionated; violates Section 7(8),(9); public interest overrides.
  • Deemed denial for incomplete info.​

Relief Sought:

  • Direct PIO to furnish complete info with certified copies.
  • Hear appeal, impose penalty u/s 20(1) on PIO.
  • Daily fee u/s 7(3) from due date.

Enclosures: 1. RTI application. 2. PIO reply. 3. Proof of submission. 4. Images.

Thanking you,
[Your Name & Signature]

Track appeal; if no reply in 30-45 days, file 2nd Appeal to J&K SIC. Contact EE PHE Anantnag office for exact FAA name if needed.
