The format of a second appeal should include your name, address, and a clear statement of the grounds of the appeal. You should also provide a copy of your original RTI application, the PIO's reply, the first appeal, and the FAA's order.

In the case of Subhash Chandra Agarwal v CPIO SC (2019), the CIC held that the appellant must provide a clear and concise statement of the grounds of the appeal. You may want to cite this case in your second appeal to argue that the PIO's decision was not in accordance with the RTI Act.
