Corrupt officials and politicians will always find a way around any of the laws that are promulgated. We had one such case in Andhra Pradesh where some valuable lands were usurped by some benami elements in the name of freedom fighters with tacit help from politicians and revenue officials. ETV channel got information about it and stated asking for documents under RTI act regarding the allotees of the land. Even at the district collector level they claim they do not have the information and hence cannot give it. Lands have been alloted but the revenue authorities do not have information. How funny and see how they circumvent law.

u need to appeal to divisionla comissioner,most probably he will also turn down your application.after that you approach the information comissioner,he will summon the collector.also press for penalty,i am sure the collector will be forced to give the due information as well as a fine upto Rs 25000/-will be imposed on him.
