Comment:
I am a RTI officer under state government karnataka. An applicant is seeking permission to view documents, We have given dates to view, he was absent, asked for the 2nd time and we gave date and he was absent, third time and 4th time and he was absent. Pl let me know how many times he is given opportunity to view the same file under RTI.

The RTI ACT is silent about the number of offers for inspection of documents. Offering two options for inspections appears reasonable. You may pass an order saying that as the applicant has not availed the option of inspection despite being given multiple options, there is nothing left at your end.
