You may inform the ld PIO that the Mumbai High Court does not have any territorial jurisdiction in Tehri Garhwal and its writ does not extend there.
Notwithstanding that, in RTI an applicant can only seek information (as defined in the Act) which already exists in material form. So the usage of speculative terms like "why" is certainly ruled out. However, an applicant is entitled to ask for "reasons" <wink>.

I have received a reply from PIO, District Collectorate, Tehri Garhwal stating that in Writ petition No. 419 of 2007 "Dr. S Pinto Vs Goa State" in Goa based bench of Mumbai high Court vide its order dated 3.4.2008 it is stated that the PIO are not liable to give any reply to questions which have the word "why" in them?
Can anyone give me some comments on this.

JP Dabral
