These are not public document. It can be denied stating section 8(1)(d) of the RTI Act.

RTI covers ANY INFORMATION. You can't bifurcate it as Public document and Private document.

Ofcourse.. but the fact is that in this context RTI is a general act and the providing of Board documents are governed by the speical act. Hence the provision of the spcial act will prevail over the other.
