Tahsildar non-co-operation

We have land whose ownership has now come other dispute. We genuinely believe that the other party's claim is bogus and so have been fighting it out in court.

Following a trail of documents we have found out that there is a piece of document which will remove any doubt about the rightful ownership of this land and this file is crucial for our next hearing in court to go well.

The said file is sitting in the Tahsildar's office and all our honest attempts to obtain it have been futile. For the last week my father has been visiting the office every single day but he is always on leave or too busy to meet. His one signature will release the file and there is no legal reason for him to not sign yet he is delaying.

We do not have much time and need to act immediately. What action can we take, who can we approach so that the Tahsildar releases this file.

All help is truly appreciated.

Did you apply for such document under RTI.

We have not gone for RTI as there is not much time, we need the file before Monday. The Tahsildar has met us once. On that occassion he has signed a slip of paper with some direction to the staff. We thought this will release the file but after that day it has become a endless chase.

In case there is nothing to do to get the file before monday (4/08/14) , on what grounds can we ask for an extension in the court. (this would be the second extension we are requesting).

Correction: we have applied under the RTI act for the file and followed all procedures. Only the Tahsildar's signature is remaining.

You can produce the application under RTI to the court and request time. If your prayer is genuine court can be liberal in granting time cos that document can decide the case.
