Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the dismissal of the writ petition challenging the rejection of an RTI application under 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, as judicial officers are protected under the Judicial Officers' Protection Act, 1850. The Court emphasized that the right to information does not extend to questioning judicial decisions, thereby affirming the High Court's ruling.
