Dear Sri P. Venugopala Gupta Garu,

We understand that your previous representations to the Tahsildar, Palamaner, have not yielded results. While it is frustrating to write again, Helping Hands Foundation (HHF) requires a specific "Legal Paper Trail" to hold the officials accountable through the RTI Act and District Collector Escalation.

 

To ensure the Tahsildar has no further excuses regarding "technical problems" or "incorrect bank details," please provide the following via email for our records:

 

1. Identity & Bank Proof: A clear photo of your Aadhaar Card and the first page of your Bank Passbook (the account where you wish to receive the funds).

 

2. Contact Information: A photo of a representation on one page, containing brief details of your issue, your full current address and mobile number, duly signed by you.

 

3. Confirmation of Account: Please confirm that the bank account provided is active and linked to your Aadhaar.

 

Why this is necessary:

HHF will draft a "Final Notice of Non-Compliance" for you to send via Registered Post. Once we have the postal receipt of this final notice, and if they still do not pay, we will have the legal grounds to:

• File an RTI Application to identify the specific clerk/officer sitting on your file.
• File a formal complaint to the District Collector for "Willful Disobedience of Superior Orders."

 

HHF Policy Reminder:

• Postal Expenses: You will need to send the drafted letters via Registered Post/Speed Post at your own cost.
• Receipts: Please email us the Postal Cash Receipts photos as soon as you mail the letters. These are vital for our tracking and future RTI actions.

 

We are ready to move quickly once you provide the photos of the Aadhaar, Passbook, and your signed address details.

 

Yours sincerely,

Team HHF

Chittoor – 517 001

Respected Sir,

Sub: Refund of court fee of Rs. 15252/- and Rs. 10052/- to me – Requested Reg

Ref:

1. Proceedings of Joint Collector, Chittoor vide D. Dis. Coor-6/442628/2023 dt 14/09/2023.

2. Proceedings of District Revenue Officer, Chittoor, Roc. Coor-6/471096/2024 dt 20/06/2024.

3. Proceedings of District Collector’s office, Chittoor, D. Dis. Coor/481239/2024 dt 07/12/2024.

I beg to bring to your kind notice that Chittoor district administration were kind enough and passed the above three proceedings directing the Tahsildar of PALAMANER to reimburse the court fee of Rs.15252/- and Rs.10052/- to me on my representations. I have sent several letters to the Tahsildar Palamaner requesting for payment of the said amounts besides many personal visits but in vain.

I respectfully submit that the Tahasildar’s office at Palamaner did not respond till date in spite of above proceedings of District Administration, Chittoor for payment of above small amounts to me. I have paid several visits to Palamaner Tahsildar’s office despite my request letters dt 12/12/2023, 17/01/2024, 20/08/2024 and finally on 11/11/2024 but all my efforts proved futile. Every time they used to tell some technical problem and postponing the matter for the BEST REASONS known to them only.

IT IS PITIABLE TO NOTE THAT THE ORDERS OF DISTRICT COLLECTOR ARE NOT IMPLEMENTED EVEN AFTER MORE THAN TWO YEARS

In view of this delayed matter I humbly request you Sir, to kindly initiate desired urgent steps at your office and do justice to me by making payment of my above court fee amounts at your earliest possible time.

I further submit that kindly implement the procedure of submitting compliance reports for each and every proceedings issued by district administration to ensure the end use of such orders to root out this type of red tapism in the interest of poor general public.

Thanking You Sir

Yours Faithfully,

P. Venugopala Gupta

Encl: All copies of above referred proceedings and letters sent by me to Tahsildar of Palamaner under regd post for your kind records.
