Can I apply RTI to get Birth certificate ?

Question

Birth registration has not been done on time so now this is delayed registration . All procedures are followed and the application is now with the RDO office and he should create court order to town panchayat E.O for birth certificate registrations.

After the application has been files to the RDO how many days I have to wait to file the RTI wit the RDO office ?

‘If it is held otherwise, it would negate and lead to derecognising the fundamental right to information as granted under the RTI Act, which is unacceptable.’ Now one can apply for Birth and Death certificates and other documents through RTI. The Punjab and Haryana High court recently allowed a plea of a man who had applied death certificate of his mother through RTI. Justice Augustine George Masih held that in case of an application preferred under the Right to Information Act where alternative procedure and conditions are prescribed under any other statute/law, the said application cannot be rejected and/or information denied on this ground.
