महाराष्ट्र लोकसेवा हक्क अधिनियम, 2015 च्या कलम 5(2) च्या अन्वये ज्या व्यक्तीचा अर्ज फेटाळल्याचा आदेश मिळाल्याच्या दिनांकापासून तीस दिवसांच्या कालावधीच्या आत ________ कडे कलम 9(1) अन्वये अपील दाखल करू शकते.

The correct answer is Option B (First Appellate Authority).

Key Points:
• Under Section 9(1) of the Maharashtra Right to Public Services Act, 2015, an applicant aggrieved by a rejection or delay in service delivery can prefer a first appeal.
• Option 2 is correct because the first appeal must be filed before the 'First Appellate Authority' within 30 days from the date of receipt of rejection or expiry of the stipulated period.
• If dissatisfied with the decision of the First Appellate Authority, a second appeal can be preferred before the Second Appellate Authority under Section 9(2), and subsequently a third appeal/revision before the Commission.
• Candidates often mistake the appellate authority sequence; first appeal always goes to the First Appellate Authority, not directly to the Collector or Commission.
• Memorizing the statutory appellate hierarchy (1st Authority -> 2nd Authority -> Commission) prevents confusion in RTS/RTI legal questions.
• Key Takeaway: Remember: First appeal under RTS Act 2015 must be filed before the First Appellate Authority within 30 days.
