 below is the copy of a request for information I had sent to a govt agency
APPLICATION FOR INFORMATION
under right to information act 2005


To
the central public information officer / director
intelligence bureau (IB)
Ministry of Home Affairs, Government of India
North Block, New Delhi-110 001


1. name of the applicant : cheriyath jyothi

2. address : mithilam, povankonam, chemapzhanthi P.O.,
thiruvananthapuram – 695587.

3. particulars of information required :

a. I would want to know whether there are any personnel belonging to your bureau, as your regular employees or their paid informers, put on duty specifically on me, whatever be the pretext for doing so.
b. In case your answer is in the affirmative I would want detailed information like:
i) at whose behest is this activity being carried out ?
if this person happens to be a private citizen, is that person being made to pay for the “services” rendered ?
and if so, the exact amounts paid that way.
ii) What are the liberties these “security” personnel are allowed in my personal domain? For example does their duties include intercepting, examining and censoring communications, postal as well as electronic, to and fro; breaking in to my house in my absence and searching my things in the name of security?
iii) What are the additional perks that personnel of your establishment put on the above sort of duties eligible for ? Like say for example free meals, purchases made while trailing the party reimbursed, free accommodation!

4. year to which information pertains: from may 1995 till date.

5. other relevant reference if any :
a. I have plain clothes men trailing and harassing me and these members of the spy networks of the government are trampling on my life and liberties. I have no idea as to their whereabouts and am keen on knowing their origins. It could be possible that these are renegade members of your establishment and hence this application.
your attention is invited to the fact that the immunity granted to your organization under section 24. ( 1 ) of the RTI 2005 is not relevant in the context of my above request as the matter pertains to violations of my basic human rights by members of the security agencies of the government.
b. My name is usually written in full as cheriyath jyothi but it could be possible that your records show my name as c. jyothi or even jyothi c.
c. I have been living in various rented houses in and around thiruvananthpurm city since may 1995.
6. application fee
a. fee paid : Rs. 10/- ( rupees ten only)
b. mode of payment : Indian postal order

( c. jyothi )    

                               here is a photograph of the response I got.



I made an appeal; I cannot find a copy but here is a photograph of the letter – the colour has been inverted for obvious reasons.


And here is the response to the appeal.




birds of a different feather
almost Identical request were sent to other agencies as well and most of them wrote back. Here is another set up that did not want to reply

at first the first letter sent was returned undelivered that is in spite of the fact that the address I had given is the one on the website of the Kerala police - and this set up is supposed to be a part of the Kerala police!
Now see what happened when ultimately they did not find anyway of refusing to accept the letter. 

                         This reply is in complete violation of the act.
                 don't  you think they have got something to hide ?
One thing is clear:
dhal mem kuch nahim
INKA  POORA DHAL  KALA HAI
