You may inform the ld PIO that the Mumbai High Court does not have any territorial jurisdiction in Tehri Garhwal and its writ does not extend there.
Notwithstanding that, in RTI an applicant can only seek information (as defined in the Act) which already exists in material form. So the usage of speculative terms like "why" is certainly ruled out. However, an applicant is entitled to ask for "reasons" <wink>.
