Legal basis & binding precedent for this topic

Statute

Revenue authorities at every level — Tehsildar / MRO, Sub-Divisional Magistrate, Collector, Commissioner of Land Administration, Board of Revenue — are "public authorities" under Section 2(h). Revenue records, mutation registers, survey records, and file notings are "information" under Section 2(f).

Case law

The Supreme Court has consistently held that revenue records are public documents — most notably in Smt. Sawarni vs. Smt. Inder Kaur (AIR 1996 SC 2823) and related rulings, which address mutation but apply by extension to the entire revenue-records framework. The CIC has ordered revenue officers to disclose pending-application file trails in numerous decisions.

How we use this

Land-matter RTIs are drafted survey-number-specific (and where applicable, platform-specific — Bhu Bharati / Meebhoomi / Dharani portal screenshots are attached to eliminate any "record not found" deflection). This specificity forces the Tehsildar to either produce the record or formally acknowledge its absence.

Section references are to the Right to Information Act, 2005. Case citations refer to reported judgments of the Supreme Court of India, High Courts, and the Central / State Information Commissions. This article is a general statement of law — for facts-specific advice on your matter, consult a qualified advocate.
