Delhi HC to Hear Appeals on PM Modi's Degree Disclosure

Delhi HC to Hear Appeals on PM Modi's Degree Disclosure

Imagine someone asked for information about Prime Minister Modi's college degree using a special law called the RTI Act.

Initially, a government information panel said the university should share the details.

However, a judge later said this information is private, like a school report card, and shouldn't be shared just because someone is in public office.

Now, a higher court is looking at appeals against that judge's decision.

They will listen to both sides to decide if the degree details are public information or private.

The university is also asking for more time to explain why it took them long to appeal the first decision.

This is all about how much private information about public figures should be available to everyone.
