Continuing from Round-1 litigation here, this page captures the Round-2 litigation efforts.
Now that the Respondent #3 in WP(PIL).No. 115/2025 admitted to AP High Court that Dowry Advisory Boards were activated hurriedly from August 2025, the next step was to check if the Dowry Prohibition Officers are actually performing the DPO Activities (specifically the 6 police powers) as the Government of Andhra Pradesh mandates under G.O.Ms.No. 69 dt: 24-Jun-1989. I filed RTI applications as mentioned below and the summary of the replies is captured in an Excel tracker.
On 05-Jun-2026, based on some of my observations, I sent an email representation to the District Collectors (who are designated as Chairmen/Chairperson of the District Dowry Advisory Boards u/s 8B(4) of the Dowry Prohibition Act, 1961) giving my ‘suggestions’ on 6 aspects. The following is that email. Around 50 email IDs failed.
Quite a few replies received to my original RTI application filed in March 2026. Prepared the following summary.
The representation reached the Revenue Department on 15-Jun-2026 (Speed Post Consignment/Tracking Number: EN538130321IN). Now wait for four weeks for any response and then file the WP(PIL) before APHC.
