10 year-old missing documents unearthed through RTI in MHADA
10 year-old missing documents unearthed through RTI in MHADA
One widow approached PCGT saying that her application for transfer of ownership of her MHADA flat was not acted upon. MHADA went on informing her that the original documents submitted for transfer of ownership were lost and she was asked to wait indefinitely. For her it was impossible to recreate the original documents as she did not have the means. PCGT filed RTI application before the MHADA office asking for the status of action taken on her application. The PIO replied saying that the concerned file was not traceable and once the same was traced, the applicant would be contacted. Then, in reply to our First Appeal, the Appellate Authority directed the PIO to trace the papers within 15 days and act as necessary. Surprisingly, the PIO found them within 15 days, which earlier he could not find for ten years! The PCGT is pursuing the matter to its logical conclusion.
