PM Modi's academic record will not be disclosed, the Delhi High Court ordered Cic to be rejected

The Delhi High Court has canceled the order of the Central Information Commission (CIC) to make public information regarding Premier Narendra Modi’s Bachelor’s degree. The University of Delhi disputed the order of the Central Information Commission. Based on an RTI petition submitted by CIC in 2016, the University of Delhi was instructed to make public information regarding Premier Modi’s Bachelor’s degree. ‘Educational record and disclosure of degree is not compulsory’ according to the order of the Supreme Court of the Delhi High Court, Sachin Dutta, the disclosure of educational records and grades is not mandatory. The legal struggle over the revelations of the educational record of Premier Modi has been underway for years. After submitting an application under the right to information (RTI), on December 21, 2016, the Central Information Commission allowed the records of all the students who passed the BA exam in 1978. Prime Minister Modi also passed this exam. The CIC ordered the degrees to be made public. The university refused, citing rules not to share relevant information with third party. However, the Main Information Commission (CIC) did not accept this argument and ordered Du to allow inspection in December 2016. The CIC said that the educational qualifications of any public person, especially the prime minister, should be transparent. The CIC also said that the register would be considered a public document with this information. Against this order, the university approached the Supreme Court, where it was represented by Indian Attorney General Tushar Mehta and his legal team. Tushar Mehta argued that the release of data would lead to a dangerous example, which could hinder the operation of government officials. He said that some people advocated to release records inspired by political objectives. Share this story -tags
