Delhi HC Delays Ruling on Modi's Degree Information
The Delhi High Court is deciding whether to release information about Prime Minister Modi's degree.
Someone asked for this information, but the university doesn't want to share it, citing privacy.
The court was supposed to make a decision, but they've delayed it.
The university's lawyer argued that personal privacy is more important than the public's right to know.
A previous order allowed access to student records from 1978, when Modi also passed his exam.
The court is considering both sides of the argument before making its final decision.
Delhi High Court deferred its verdict on DU's plea against CIC order.
The verdict was expected on August 25.
DU challenged the CIC order, citing privacy concerns.
Solicitor General argued that the 'right to privacy' superseded the 'right to know'.
The CIC had allowed inspection of records of students who cleared the BA exam in 1978.
