This query is : Resolved
The problem is as under-
There is a military establishment for which restrictions were laid by the Central Government on basis of The Works Of Defence Act, 1903, in the year 1976, vide an SRO. The State Government before that had issued own restrictions in the area which were lesser stringent in terms of restrictions, and the same continued to be applied even after the publication of SRO by Central Government. The issues are:-
1. The original SRO issued by the Central Government is not available. Only an unauthenticated copy is held. Where can we get the authentic copy of SRO?
2. As we understand, the SRO had to be promulgated by the Collector before it is implemented. The act lays down a period of three years for that. If that has not been done, what are the options with us to enforce the SRO now?

You can make an application under RTI Act to the Public Information Officer of the concerned department which issued the SRO for an authentic copy of the SRO.
Unless one really sees the contents of the SRO your second query cannot be answered right now.
