Hello all, This is not clear * * *If an Indian citizen abroad wishes to file an RTI he can do so on India territory at the Embassy / Consulate where INR is legal tender.
The RTI Act does not envisage Indian citizens using the RTI Act outside the territory of India. * * * *To do so would inter-alia enable citizens of India in J&K to file RTI's all over India (from J&K) without a corresponding facility for Indians outside J&K to do so there under the J&K RTI Act.* What are you trying to say 01 J and K is not India, 'citizens of India in J and K' what are citizens of J and K 02 INR is not legal tender in J and K, what currency does the state use 03 Indians outside J and K, again, what are citizens of J and K All this arises from the ludicrous anti Indian article 370, special status for unnecessary reasons Thanqx.
