Today, On 16th February, The Supreme Court of India refused to stay the RTI Act amendment made through the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023, and issued notice to the Centre on a plea challenging its constitutional validity.
The Orissa High Court held that the Odisha Information Commission acted unjustifiably by restricting a litigant to only 12 RTI applications per year. It ruled that the Commission cannot limit the number of RTIs a citizen can file in a year.
