Time Limit for Filing Second Appeal
I filed a first appeal with the FAA, but the order was not in my favour. Now, I want to file a second appeal with the CIC. What is the time limit for filing a second appeal, and what are the consequences of filing a late appeal?
Know the practical answer?

3 answersThe time limit for filing a second appeal is 90 days from the date of receipt of the FAA's order. If you file a late appeal, the CIC may reject it, unless you can show sufficient cause for the delay.
The CIC may consider a late appeal if you can provide a valid reason for the delay. However, this is subject to the CIC's discretion, and you should ensure that you file your appeal as soon as possible to avoid any delays.
In the case of Aditya Bandopadhyay (2011), the CIC held that the appellant must file a second appeal within the prescribed time limit. You may want to cite this case in your second appeal to argue that the FAA's order was not in accordance with the RTI Act.
