4. After hearing the parties and on perusal of the relevant documents on file,
it is observed that the appellant had grievance against the police regarding
enquiry conducted by the Police on appellant’s complaint, for which the
appellant, if he so desires, can take up the matter with the competent authority,
as there is no provision under the RTI Act for redressal of grievance. As the RTI-
queries are related to the enquiry conducted by the Police, the PIO is directed to
