🚨 The Struggle Against Corruption: Sadhana Tiwari’s Second RTI Appeal

Sadhana Tiwari is using the Right to Information (RTI) Act, 2005, to expose and seek action against alleged systemic corruption within the local police and the Lalganj Tehsil administration in Mirzapur, Uttar Pradesh. Her persistence in the face of alleged official inaction is the central theme of her legal struggle.

🏛️ Core Issue: Exclusion from Inheritance and Official Complicity

The appeal centers on a serious allegation of corruption related to an inheritance (succession) process handled by the Lalganj Tehsil.

Details of the Alleged Irregularity

• Case Summary: The appellant, Sadhana Tiwari, alleges that she was arbitrarily excluded from the list of inheritors of her grandfather’s property, despite being a Class-I heir.
• Key Time-Frame: The appellant’s father died five years before her grandfather. According to the law of the land (likely the Uttar Pradesh Revenue Code, 2006, regarding succession), as the daughter of a pre-deceased son, she should have been a primary heir to her grandfather’s property.
• Alleged Corruption: The appellant claims her name was omitted by colluding with the staff of Tehsil Sadar through bribes, thereby usurping her property rights. The process of inheritance was allegedly carried out improperly, making a “mockery of the law.”
• Accused Parties: The appeal names the following individuals and positions as being responsible for the corruption/irregularity and subsequent cover-up:
  • Tehsildar Lalganj (Tarun Pratap)
  • Revenue Inspector, Lalganj Tehsil
  • Lekhpal, Lalganj Tehsil
  • Dayashankar Mishra S/O Shambhu Saran Mishra (Uncle)
  • Hariprasad Mishra S/O Shambhu Saran Mishra (Uncle)
  • Police Personnel (from Drummond Ganj Police Station, under Circle Officer Lal Ganj) for alleged involvement in a “criminal act of deep-rooted corruption.”

💥 Impact of Sadhana Tiwari’s Struggle

The document claims a significant, albeit challenging, impact at the local level due to her persistent efforts:

1. Exposure and Languishing of Corruption in Tehsil Lalganj

The most direct claimed impact is on the Tehsil (Revenue Department) staff in Lalganj.

• Languishing Corruption: The text states, “Corruption is languishing in Tehsil due to impact of Sadhana Tiwari,” and her impact is “visible on each staff of tehsil.” This suggests that her actions—filing RTI applications, First Appeals, and the Second Appeal—have created an atmosphere where corrupt practices are more difficult or risky to execute.
• Core Issue: Her efforts are aimed at exposing a specific case of corruption where she alleges her name was arbitrarily excluded as a Class-I heir from her grandfather’s inheritance records, allegedly through collusion with Lekhpal, Revenue Inspector, and Tehsildar staff for bribes.

2. Exposure of Police Personnel (Drummond Ganj)

The impact is also asserted on the local police system:

• Police Exposure: The text claims, “Police is exposed due to impact of this lady,” and the impact is “visible on the face police personnel of Drummond Ganj.”
• Connection to Corruption: The appellant links the police to a “criminal act of deep-rooted corruption” in the matter, suggesting that her case involves collusion or inaction from the police in investigating the alleged usurping of her property.

3. Historic and Public Admiration

The struggle is painted as a significant local event that has resonated with the public:

• Historic Impact: The appellant believes the outcome of her struggle “will be historic at local level.”
• Public Support: “Due to her impact, local people admire her,” suggesting her fight has transformed into a public symbol against administrative malpractice.

⚖️ The Mechanism of the Impact: The RTI Act

Sadhana Tiwari is primarily using the Right to Information Act, 2005, as a tool to effect change and create accountability. Her impact is a result of forcing officials to comply with the law.

• Official Resistance: The PIO (Tehsildar Lalganj) and the FAA (SDM Lalganj) are accused of showing “insolence to the provisions of the RTI Act 2005″ by failing to provide the requested information or hear the First Appeal in a timely manner.
• The Second Appeal’s Purpose: By escalating the matter to the Uttar Pradesh Information Commission (UPIC), she is seeking not just the information, but punitive action against the non-compliant officers, stating their actions “must be curbed at the early stages” to prevent “anarchy.

Key Information Sought to Expose Malpractice

The RTI sought specific information that directly targets the alleged corruption:

1. Identity of Officials: Names of the Lekhpal, Revenue Inspector, and Tehsildar who processed the inheritance.
2. Reason for Exclusion: The mandatory “Right to reason” for excluding her name, a Class-I heir, from the list of inheritors.

SDM Lalganj must provide reason of not providing receiving of representations to aggrieved
