New Delhi, Feb 16 (IANS) The Supreme Court Monday issued notice to the registrar of the Gujarat High Court on a plea by the State Information Commission saying that the high court could not insist on adherence to its rules for sharing information sought under the Right to Information Act.
A bench of Justice J. Chelameswar and Justice Rohinton Fali Nariman issued notice to the registrar as well as former medical officer Mahendra Bhatt who had sought information from the high court under the RTI Act but was told by its public information officer that he should seek the information under the relevant provisions of the Gujarat High Court Rules, 1993 instead of the RTI Act.
