Reverse DNS delegation problem

Could I request some help regarding the above. The following (small)
files are attached: named.conf  rev-cc.iitkgp  rev-iitkgp .
The query for 10.14.18.50 fails.
[root at localac root]# host 10.14.18.50
Host 50.18.14.10.in-addr.arpa not found: 3(NXDOMAIN)

I get back an authority for 10.14.18.50.
[root at localac root]# dig -x 10.14.18.50  +norecurse
;; flags: qr ra; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 0, AUTHORITY: 1, ADDITIONAL: 1
;; AUTHORITY SECTION:
14.10.in-addr.arpa.     259200  IN      NS      sit-dns.sit.iitkgp.

However, I get not results when I leave out the "+norecurse"
[root at localac root]# dig -x 10.14.18.50
;; flags: qr rd ra; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 0, AUTHORITY: 0, ADDITIONAL: 0

But, "sit-dns.sit.iitkgp." gives me the answer alright.
[root at localac root]# dig @sit-dns.sit.iitkgp. -x 10.14.18.50
;; flags: qr aa rd ra; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 1, AUTHORITY: 1, ADDITIONAL: 1
;; ANSWER SECTION:
50.18.14.10.in-addr.arpa. 259200 IN     PTR     chitta.sit.iitkgp.

What is going wrong? How to get it working?
