The Delhi High Court heard appeals seeking details of PM Narendra Modi’s educational qualifications, with SG Tushar Mehta agreeing to file objections on delay. The case, led by AAP’s Sanjay Singh and others, will be heard next on January 16.
The Delhi High Court ruled that PM Narendra Modi and Smriti Irani’s academic records are personal information protected under the RTI Act. Justice Sachin Datta said disclosure cannot be driven by “idle curiosity or sensationalism.”
