Registrar office works only after RTI application is filed

Mrs. Leena Singh a resident of Delhi wanted to get her property at Rohini freehold.She approached DDA to get the all formalities completed . After making 5-6 visits to DDA and one and half year she was told that her property could not be made freehold because she did not have original leasehold papers which she lost with her . Her repeated plea to freehold her property and ignore the originals which ultimately had to be canceled was not accepted by DDA. She was asked to approach Sub Registrar to get a certified copy of lease papers. After that she made 3-4 visits to sub registrar office at Kashmere gate but of no avail. The officials told her that they were not able to trace the papers and are making all efforts to trace the papers. She understood what they wanted. She had decided that she would not pay a single paisa as bribe. After wasting two months she decided to file a application under RTI to know the status of her request. After one week only when her application reached the correct place she got a telephone call from registrar office asking her to collect the papers the same day. She went next day and collected the papers . Now she is thanking RTI Act which came to her help ultimately. She also got her property freehold without paying a single rupee as bribe but after a gap of nearly two years . Patience in such matters always pays.
