To
The Most Respected Presiding Officer,
Court of Hearing S-9,
Uttar Pradesh Information Commission,
Lucknow.

Subject: Obviously, no response to Second Appeal under Section 19(3) of the RTI Act, 2005
Appeal Registration Number: A-20250101163
File Number: S09/A/0581/2025
Date of Hearing: 28th August 2025
Appellant: Sadhana Tiwari
Respondent: Public Information Officer, Office of Tehsildar, Lalganj, District Mirzapur


Respected Sir/Madam,

In the light of, the guidelines laid down by the Hon’ble Supreme Court. In the Writ Petition (Civil) No. 360/ 2021, dated 09.10. 2023, and the subsequent directives issued by the Government of Uttar Pradesh. Obviously, They mandated the implementation of paperless governance through the e-office system. I humbly submit the following representations in support of the second appeal filed under Section 19(3) of the Right to Information Act, 2005.H

1. Non-Compliance with RTI Act and Commission Orders

Despite repeated notices from the Hon’ble Information Commission, the Public Information Officer (PIO), Tehsildar Lalganj, has failed to respond to the RTI application filed online under Registration Number DMOMR/R/2024/60106. The status remains unchanged as “RTI REQUEST RECEIVED” since 28/09/2024, reflecting a blatant disregard for statutory obligations under Sections 7 and 19 of the RTI Act.

2. Violation of Paperless Governance Mandate

Obviously, The PIO has not utilized any digital means—email, WhatsApp, or postal communication—to communicate with the appellant, which contradicts the Supreme Court’s emphasis on digital transparency and the Uttar Pradesh Government’s eoffice directives. This not only burdens the public exchequer but also undermines administrative efficiency.

3. Denial of Information and Misleading Reports

Obviously, The appellant sought specific reasons for the denial of inheritance processing under Section 32 of the Uttar Pradesh Revenue Code, 2006. The Tehsildar’s contradictory reports on the Jansunwai portal mislead both the monitoring authorities and the appellant, thereby eroding the credibility of grievance redressal mechanisms.

4. Allegations of Corruption and Collusion

The inheritance was processed in a manner that excluded the appellant, a rightful Class-I heir, due to her minority status at the time. Evidently, The omission appears deliberate and collusive, involving:

In Conclusion, The circumstantial evidence suggests bribery and misuse of official position, warranting a departmental inquiry.

5. Request for Inquiry and Disciplinary Action

In the light of, gravity of the allegations and the procedural lapses, I HUMBLY  request:

  • Firstly, An inquiry into the inheritance processing irregularities.
  • Secondly, Disciplinary action against the erring officials.
  • Furthermore, Directions to the PIO to furnish the requested information through electronic means, in compliance with eoffice norms.

6. Legal Grounds

In the light of Under Section 19(5) of the RTI Act, the burden of proof lies with the PIO to justify denial of information. Obviously, The continued inaction violates the binding nature of the Commission’s orders under Section 19(7), and the appellant’s right to information under Article 19(1)(a) of the Constitution.


Prayer for Relief: In light of the above, the appellant prays that the Hon’ble Commission:

Date: 28/08/  2025

7 responses to “Inheritance Exclusion: Sadhana Tiwari’s Fight for Justice”

  1. If there is really transparency and accountability in the working of the Uttar Pradesh state information commission then it must take action against the public information officer tahsildar Lalganj. How can presiding officer tolerate tyrant approach of the public information officer in the matter?

  2. Why is public information officer running away from providing information to the information seeker? Tahsildar Lalganj has made a record for not entertaining even single RTI application during his regime .

    Think about the gravity of situation tahsildar Lalganj is not providing information even after the repeated notices of Uttar Pradesh state information commission which is a mockery of the provisions of Right to information act 2005.

  4. It is a matter of deep rooted corruption obvious from the post. After taking bribe from the offenders, the staff of the department of revenue concerning tehsil Lalganj excluded the name of the applicant belonging to the vulnerable section of the society. At that time she was minor. This is also a matter of human rights violation.

  5. Everyone knows that government of Uttar Pradesh controls crime to print and electronic media because its police is busy in taking bribe from the innocent and volleyball people by implicating them in various false cases.

  6. Right to Information act 2005 was introduced by the government of India to promote transparency and accountability in the working of the public authorities but it seems that this act did not reach to the working of tehsil Lalganj obvious from the non entertainment of RTI application by the public Information officer tahsildar Lalganj.

  7. Transparency and accountability are anti to corruption and contrary to each other. Right to Information act 2005 is introduced to control corruption from the government machinery and there is rampant corruption in the public offices in the Government of India. That is why no information is being provided by the public authorities which may expose their corruption.
