Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the dismissal of a writ petition challenging the rejection of an RTI application under Section 6 of the Right to Information Act, 2005. The Court ruled that the information sought regarding the judicial decision of Respondent No. 4 was not maintainable under the RTI Act, emphasizing the protection afforded to judicial officers under the Judicial Officers' Protection Act, 1850. The Court affirmed that the right to information does not extend to questioning judicial decisions, thereby reinforcing the independence of the judiciary.
