Answers
2 answersYes, you can file an RTI application under §6(1) to the PIO of the police station, asking for a copy of the case diary. You can ask for the details of the investigation and the progress of the case.
The PIO might deny the information, citing §8(1)(h), but you can argue that the case diary is a public document, and the information can't be denied under this clause. Refer to the Aditya Bandopadhyay 2011 case.
