PM Modi’s degree order set aside, Kejriwal fined

Hindustan Times  

The Gujarat high court on Friday set aside a 2016 order of the central information commissioner asking Gujarat University to provide information about Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s degrees to Aam Aadmi Party leader and Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal under the Right to Information Act. In February, Solicitor General Tushar Mehta, appearing for Gujarat University, told the court that there was nothing to hide in the first place because information about Modi’s degrees is “already in the public domain”. He referred to Section 8 of the RTI Act said such information cannot be disclosed “unless the competent authority is satisfied that the larger public interest warrants the disclosure of such information.” Mehta argued for allowing the Gujarat University’s plea with cost. What is all this happening?” State BJP chief C R Patil said: “It is the court’s decision, and we as a party would not like to make any comment on it.” On putting up posters in various parts of the country including Ahmedabad where police today arrested eight persons, state home minister Harsh Sanghvi said: “The party is trying to draw attention by indulging in such activities, but law will take its course.”
