⚖️ Why Proper RTI Drafting Is Necessary?
1. Records, Not Opinions
RTI seeks existing records. Poor drafts ask for opinions, leading to rejection.
2. Prevents Evasion
Vague questions allow PIOs to deny information. Specific drafts force disclosure.
3. Stronger Appeals
A weak RTI leads to a weak First Appeal. A strong draft builds a solid legal foundation.
4. Legal Evidence
RTI replies are used as evidence in court. Weak drafts yield useless replies.
“We draft RTIs that compel answers, not excuses.”
