Service book is a personal document which cannot be provided under RTI Act without the personal consent of the person concerned may he be retired or in service.

It is not clear which SC order you are referring to.
Service Book is not personal rather personnel document. It is official and public record.
Service book contains details of increment/promotion / upgradation/ downgradation, awards, penalties etc. All this information is not confidential. It is already know to the deptt.
In case you intention is to disclose irregularity then you can make a try.
