I have experienced that now RTI applications will not be transferred under Section 6(3) of RTI Act 2005 as per some circular with DOPT with CIC. This is going to very difficult if information concerning the same matter is held by two different public authorities. For Example: I had asked copy of migration certificate from one educational board which is now legally property of another educational board. One educational board had issued migration certificate against fee but is unable to furnish the copy of it and another public authority refuses to even acknowledge the response of first educational board (in addition to legal queries from crime branch of police).
Scenario is something like this - where crime committed is central organization while another is state organization supposed to be legal custodian of information. Another case : A public school affiliated to CBSE, holds some information. But school refuses to impart information and CBSE asks applicant to approach the school and does not transfer RTI Application under Section 6(3) ? So what's the solution ?
