Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court dismissed the Special Leave Petition challenging the High Court's order which upheld the rejection of an RTI application seeking information about the Supreme Court Collegium's meeting. The court found that the information requested was not subject to disclosure under the RTI Act as it pertained to deliberations of the Collegium, which are confidential. The decision reinforces the boundaries of transparency in judicial appointments.
