Section (8) of the RTI Act enlists some special instances when the authorities are exempted from disclosing information sought for. One of the common exceptions relied upon by the authorities is that the information being sought is with the regulatory agency in "fiduciary relationship" [Sec 8 (1) (e)]

It is one where a party stands in a relationship of trust to another party and is generally obliged to protect the interest of the other party.

if the information was reposed with a person for safe-keeping, or a person came to be vested with confidential information, and there is a question of good faith between the information provider or concerned entity, and the person having the information, it can be said that there is a relation of trusteeship.

file appeal against refusal to furnish information by the hospital

Govt. Hospitals are covered under RTI Act.,they are avoiding

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 send a Legal Notice if they would not comply then file a case in District Consumer Forum for deficiency of service and medical negligence by claiming compensation.

you can file a complaint to Chief Information Officer ,for appropriate action .

Government hospitals are covered under RTI Act. As such, they cannot take shelter under sec. 8(1)(e) of RTI Act to claim exemption from the duty of divulging the required information. If your brother died due to medical negligence in the govt hospital then file an appeal against the refusal of information by the hospital. Once the appeal is allowed and you receive all the necessary documents from the hospital then you may proceed to file a claim for medical negligence in the court.

I agree with Mr. Sidhartha Mishra and Ajay Sethi.

You need no Supreme Court ruling in this regard.
