Quick Summary

You're trying to obtain file copies from a collector's office that are over 30 years old for a civil suit. However, the Public Information Officer (PIO) under the RTI Act can only provide files up to 20 years old. While you can appeal this decision, it's likely the appellate authority will uphold the PIO's ruling. You need to explore alternative methods to access these older documents.
