Nisha Priya Bhatia vs Ajit Seth And Ors

The Supreme Court addressed the issue of whether the appellant was entitled to a copy of the Report dated 23rd January, 2009 concerning her complaint of sexual harassment against Ashok Chaturvedi. The Court held that the Union of India's claim of privilege under Sections 123 and 124 of the Evidence Act was not justified, as the Reports did not pose any threat to national security or integrity. Consequently, the Court directed the disclosure of the Report to the appellant, emphasizing the importance of transparency in such inquiries.
