[rti4empowerment] Request for Information

Dear RTI Activists,
 
Cooperative Group Housing Societies in Delhi and other States have been allotted land for building houses at SUBSIDISED RATES. Office of the and position as Registrar, a State Government Officer has been created to monitor the activities of these societies. With this limited background, my question being put to RTI Activists is:
 
1.    Are these cooperative housing societies are not supposed under to seek permission from the Registrar of Cooperative Socieites for original allotment of flats through presence of his official after sending all relevant documents or its permission for transfer of flat to blood relations or third paerty for commercial gains by the Presidents of these Societies? 
 
2. In one R TI REPLY, RCS, Govt. of NCT of Delhi  has said that "information sought by you  pertains to society record. The Society is not a public authority,  hence your application cannot be forwarded to society to provide you the information".
 
I shall be grateful to Activists of their opinion whether RCS is simply show piece or has he has some responsibility in the affairs of these3 socieities?
