If we attach the handicapped certificate at the time of appeal to the central information commissioner then they consider this matter giving priority if a general appeal is made to cic then it takes aroung five to seven months for them to proceed this matter but if the handicapped certificate is attached then it will be processed in two months aprox but when you are filing a RTI then there is no need to enclose the certificate . only this should be attached at the time of appeal to cic .

I think it happens only with direct inspection of documents by the applicant. in all other cases, this procedure will bring more negative consequences than positive ones. keep in mind, many public servants and PIOs think RTI applications a real disturbances and are not happy with it. if a considerable number of such applications carry a disability certificates along with them, they will hastily conclude that "blind people have no work. so, they will file such applications" and consider the community as a source of disturbance. so, I request all the members of the list, in the interest of the community and your own interest, please do not make a reference in an RTI application that you are blind unless it is highly necessary. the RTI act makes no concessions to either blind or disabled. sorry if my words have hurt someone.
