THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE B PRAKASH RAO WRIT PETITION NO. 10231 OF 2009 ORDER: Heard Sri K Durga Prasad, learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Government Pleader for Revenue and at their request, the writ petition itself is taken up for hearing and disposal. The petitioner herein, who claimed to be the Manager of M/s. Srija Foundation, a registered firm, and the developer of the land in survey no. 83/2 of Raidurg village, Serilingampalli mandal, Ranga Reddy district, filed this writ petition inter alia seeking for a writ of mandamus to declare the action of the respondents in not issuing the certified copies relating to documents bearing Nos. P 489, 490, 491 and 492 of 2009, which are pending before the third respondent, as illegal. The petitioner filed an application before the third respondent under the provisions of Right to Information Act, 2005 (for short the Act) on 9.4.2009 seeking supply of certified copies of the documents referred to above. The grievance of the petitioner is that in spite of filing an application before the third respondent, neither the application is disposed of nor any copies have been issued. Hence, the writ petition. Having heard the learned counsel and on perusal of the material and having regard to the nature of the relief as prayed for, I am of the view that there is no justification on the part of the respondents to withhold the supply of certified copies of the documents as sought for under the provisions of the Act. As regards the public documents, in a public office, no citizen can be denied such particulars and copies. Accordingly, the writ petition is allowed directing respondent no.3 to consider the application dated 9.4.2009 and supply the copies of the documents bearing Nos. ) 489, 490, 491 and 492 of 2009 to the petitioner subject to the condition of paying necessary charges therefor, within a period of one week from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. No costs. _______________ B.PRAKASH RAO,J DATE: 20.5.2009 KVNI/KDL THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE B PRAKASH RAO WRIT PETITION NO. 10231 OF 2009 Date: 20.5.2009
