SIRI JAGAN, J. -------------------------- W.P.(C)NO. 22416 OF 2001 ------------------------- DATED THIS THE 20th DAY OF JULY, 2007 JUDGMENT The petitioner is challenging Ext.P2 order by which the 1 st respondent directed the petitioner to apply under the Right to Information Act for getting copies of the written submission submitted by respondents 2 and 3 in a revision petition filed under Section 83(2) of the Kerala Revenue Recovery Act. 2. I have heard the learned Government pleader also. It is the right of every party to a revision petition to get a copy of whatever document placed on the record by the other side. For that, the party need not go through the procedure under the Right to Information Act since it is his right to get a copy of the same even otherwise. Therefore, I direct the 1 st respondent to issue a copy of the written submission filed by respondents 2 and 3 in revision petition bearing reference No.90097/H3/06/RD pending before the 1 st respondent. The final orders shall be passed only after giving the petitioner an opportunity to file reply to such written submission. The writ petition is disposed of as above. S. SIRI JAGAN, JUDGE Acd
