Rti from sri ganga ram hospital

(Querist) 16 March 2014 This query is : Resolved 
Dear Sir,
My Father wants some medical reports of his Father (My grand father)from Sir Ganga Ram Hospital. Can i get these reports under RTI Act? to Which authority i file RTI application MCI (Medical Councile of India) of PIO (Public Information Officer)? Under which section i file application.
Advocate M.Bhadra (Expert) 16 March 2014
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.
Guest (Expert) 16 March 2014
RTI is meant only for seeking information from Government offices or Government owned companies/corporations, not any private organisation.
Sudhir Kumar, Advocate (Expert) 16 March 2014
agreed with experts.
T. Kalaiselvan, Advocate (Expert) 18 March 2014
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.
