RTI Query - I filed an RTI application RTI Query - I filed an RTI application

1 year ago

Suppose,

I filed an RTI application and did not receive any reply within the time limit.
I filed my first appeal stating no reply received.
I got a reply from PIO after the first appeal stating that the organization is exempt under section 24(4).
But my query in the RTI application is relating to a matter of human rights violation which is an exception to Section 24(4) which I had not mentioned in my initial RTI application.

Query: Can I file an appeal again, stating that I got a reply from PIO and my query is covered in exception to Section 24(4) and I am eligible to obtain information or I need to file a fresh RTI stating that exception?
If I file a fresh RTI stating that exception, will not that application be rejected stating that reply on the same matter has been given?
