The petitioners made an application on 26.03.2006 requesting the authorities to furnish particulars of properties of the Choultry, in vain. Alleging that the said application made under the Right to Information Act, 2005 has not been complied with, the present writ petition seeking a writ of Mandamus directing respondents to furnish the particulars of properties. Learned counsel for petitioner relies on various provisions Right to Information Act in support of the contention that the respondents are under an obligation to furnish the information sought for. There cannot be any denial on this. Learned counsel for the petitioner also does not dispute that Right to Information Act itself provides for various remedies if the information sought is not furnished by a particular Designated Information Officer of a Department. The petitioner has not availed these remedies. In such a background, this Court cannot exercise its extraordinary jurisdiction in this writ petition. The writ petition is misconceived and is accordingly dismissed. No costs. ______________ (V.V.S.RAO,J) 17.04.2007. pln
