Answer 1

First Appeal is the statutory remedy available to the RTI Applicant, when there is no response from the Public Information Officer within stipulated time limit or the decision of PIO is not satisfactory or the PIO offered / supplied incorrect / misleading information or demanded exorbitant further fee etc. The First Appeal is required to be filed under Section-19(1) of RTI Act.

Civil Surgeon is a public authority, which comes under the Health and Family welfare department of the concerned state. You can check the RTI link on the website of the Health and Family Welfare department, Haryana and accordingly file First Appeal.
