[rti_india] Hearings under RTI Act.......

I am sorry .Your contention that the appeallant can take the assistance of a lawyer in plain clothes is wrong .

I have appeared before IC/SG at the CIC where the respondent coop society was represented by a

lawyer in traditional black robes . That he made a mess of his counter is absolutely another matter .

I have also engaged lawyers in the early RTI days for presenting my case before 2 Delhi

Government PAs , Delhi Police and Registrar of Coop Societies I(both notorious PAs) .

YES. There is no bar under the Act that you can not take any assistance during hearing either in First Appeal or Second Appeal. However, it is always advisable that in the Appeal itself you may mention that during the proceedings I will be assisted by my Friend. (He may be any one either Friend or Activist or you may take the help of a Lawer but in plain clothes as a Friend NOT as an Advocate)
