Getting Information from school

Krishna Shankar (Querist) 14 October 2009 This query is : Resolved
Respected sir,
I have to file a Declaration suit for the ownership of excess land in a plot based on the facts written in my registered sale deed. In the said plot four persons have purchased the land and some portion of land have been acquired by the Govt. for a Govt. Girls school. I have the information about the area purchased by the four persons, but I have no information how much land has been acquired by the govt. It's record is there with Govt. Girls school, but they are not showing it to us. Even revenue dept. as well as land acquisition dept. does not have this information. Can I ask this information under RTI from Govt. Girls School that how much land it own in the said plot? Can make other neighbors in the plot as party and ask the court to summon the record/information? Please, suggest.
Many thanks to all Hon'ble attorneys/lawyers/advocates.

why u r going to apply under the RTI act, just you applied for the certified copy of acquisition order, it is public document. Because certified copies are necessary for your records also. U can also apply under RTI Act.

i agree with Rajeev....its a public document and you have every right to have access to such documents.

Full details like boundaries are also mentioned in Acquisition Notice hence it is appropriate to seek its copy from the department acquiring the land for the purpose mentioned in the quarry.
