Private Hospitals are not covered under RTI Act. However, as per a Supreme Court ruling every hospital has to provide all details of the treatment to the patient or his family/heirs ( particularly in case of death of patient)
You can get by filing an application,failing which you can send a Legal Notice if they would not comply then file a case in District Consumer Forum for deficiency of service.

Private hospitals are not covered under RTI. You may contact Sir Ganga Ram Hospital Otherwise.

RTI is meant only for seeking information from Government offices or Government owned companies/corporations, not any private organisation.

I agree with the opinion of Advocate Mr. Bhadra in this regard. You may send a request letter to the hospital authorities requesting the desired details and follow legal course of action in case they refuse to comply with your request.
