His petition draws on data he obtained through his own RTI applications to the Information Technology, Electronics and Communications Department. According to that data, 3,323 public authorities have been added to the Telangana RTI Online Portal since its launch in December 2022, but only 17 actually use it to respond to applicants. Between December 2023 and 2025, the portal received 17,865 RTI applications, of which officials disposed of just 377, a disposal rate of 2.1 per cent. The picture is starker for appeals: 2,502 first appeals have been filed through the portal, and not one has been resolved. The petition also flags that the Telangana Information Commission does not conduct hearings virtually, forcing appellants from remote districts such as Adilabad and Khammam to travel to Hyderabad.
