RTI Application for Illegal Construction
There may be situations where you will find that a public land is encroached upon and new constructions are started. Sometimes, the landlord or promoter of a Housing Scheme starts constructing additional floors, without the knowledge and consent of flat owners. RTI can be used effectively to obtain mandatory documents required for such constructions, based on following sample.
