If you are dissatisfied with the performance of a statutory Body formed by State. You can

not move to consumer forum since you are not a consumer in term of the said Act.

But surely you can ask a question or series of questions or take sample of work or

details whatever sparks in your mind by exercising Right to Information Act-2005.

Your directly write addressing to the Public Information Officer or Assistant Public

Information Officer of the concerned department and endorsing a ten rupees court fee

(it differs from state to state) BPL are exempted to pay fee, and write your name and

address and detail question thereon and send through regd. post. The P.I.O. is bound

to reply your queries with 30 days time.
