Delhi HC Sets September 29 Hearing on Modi Degree Appeals
The Delhi High Court will hear a case about Narendra Modi’s bachelor’s degree records.
The hearing is scheduled for September 29.
Some appeals ask that the degree details be made public.
The appeals challenge an earlier decision by one judge.
That earlier decision cancelled an order from the Central Information Commission to release the records.
Solicitor General Tushar Mehta asked the court to hear the matter quickly.
He was representing Delhi University.
Two judges, including the Chief Justice of the Delhi High Court, heard the scheduling request.
The Delhi High Court scheduled September 29 to hear appeals seeking Narendra Modi’s bachelor’s degree details.
Solicitor General Tushar Mehta requested an expedited hearing while representing Delhi University.
