Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the issue of disclosure under the Right to Information Act, 2005, concerning plans submitted by a developer to public authorities. The Court emphasized that the provisions of the RTI Act must be adhered to, particularly in light of ongoing disputes regarding the termination of a Development Agreement and Power of Attorney. The Court held that the refusal to disclose documents sought under the RTI Act was not justified, thereby reinforcing the transparency obligations of public authorities.
