The Supreme Court denied anticipatory bail to two men accused of obstructing road construction, assaulting workers, and making caste-based remarks. The Court criticised alleged misuse of RTI activism, observing that some individuals were interfering with public authorities and official duties.
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.
