CIC Asks Supreme Court PIO To Re-examine RTI Application Seeking Information On Complaints Against Ex-Madras HC Judge T Raja

The Central Information Commission (CIC) has directed the Supreme Court’s Public Information Officer (PIO) to re-examine an RTI application seeking details on complaints against former Madras High Court judge T. Raja. The CIC emphasized the need for transparency and accountability in handling such complaints. The RTI applicant had sought information on the nature and status of complaints against the judge, but the initial response from the Supreme Court was deemed inadequate. The CIC’s directive aims to ensure that the information provided is comprehensive and addresses the applicant’s queries effectively. This decision underscores the importance of the RTI Act in promoting transparency within the judiciary and holding public officials accountable for their actions.
