Respected Experts,
This is a query in respect of Urban Land Ceiling matter (for short ULC).
I approached the Office of ULC authority and filed a petition under Right to Information Act, as I want to know the status of “a particular survey number in a particular area” about its declaration (ULC cleared land or un-cleared land) since we are in real estate business.
On that, the ULC authorities replied (orally not in writing) that unless my application is supported with documentary evidence ie., ownership documents etc., they wont entertain my application, even if it is filed under R.T.Act. When I insisted the top officials of the concerned, to return my application with an endorsement of the above such reason”, they bluntly refused my request and returned back my application.
As such I issued a Legal Notice on 25-02-2010 through my advocate to the authorities, requesting them to provide the above information as required. But they did not choose to give reply, even though they acknowledged the said notice.
Now what I have to do in this regard.

You might have sent the application through post and should have filed its appeal if the required information would not hve been supplied to you within a month of receipt of the application but as you accepted the application returned and didn't again moved it so you have no right in your favour to get information only on the basis of legal notice.
I suggest to again move your application through post.

Respected Raj Kumar ji, Good Morning.
I understand your point of view. But here, I filed a petition personally and whereas the same was returned back to me on the spot, since no documents are attached. They are also not willing to made any endorsement on my application, what they need. Since they have failed to accept my application, I got issued the said legal notice. But not done as of you.
