ORDER
Background
1. The Applicant, through his RTIapplication dated 08.01.2011, filed with the Chief Medical
Officer(CMO), North Western Railway, Ajmer, sought information against 5 items about a deceased
patient Ms. Leelavati who was his mother (viz., copy of admission ticket; name of disease because
of which his mother was referred to Ghisi Bai Memorial Mittal Hospital; copy of BP, ECG Pulse
report when admitted in ICU; CD of angiography; name of doctor who operated on the patient etc) .
who was admitted to the hospital on 30.10.2010. The CMO, through PIO, on 18.01.2011, denied the
information stating that it can only be given to the patient or her legal heir. The Applicant, being
aggrieved with the PIO’s reply, filed his 1stappeal with the Appellate Authority (AA) on 01.02.2011
submitting therewith an affidavit (neither notarized nor signed by the notary) under his own signature
stating that he is the son of the deceased patient. The Appellate Authority, on 14.02.2011, provided to
the Appellant a reply dated 14.02.2011 of CMO which gave all information except CD of angiography,
which as per CMO was not available with his office, to the Appellant. The Appellant, thereafter, filed
the present petition before the Commission on 22.02.2011 requesting for complete disclosure of
information.
Decision
2. During the hearing, the Respondents produced before the Commission the remaining piece of
information (i.e. CD of angiography of deceased patient along with some other related documents
obtained from the hospital ) and handed over the same to the Appellant .
3. Since the information has been fully furnished to the Appellant, this appeal is directed to be closed.
