Delhi High Court refuses to entertain journalists' plea for public access to RTI Act hearings

The Delhi High Court has refused to entertain a journalist's plea for "public access to RTI Act hearings." This decision highlights a debate between public transparency and practical limitations within the judicial system. While RTI (Right to Information) Act hearings are generally open, the court likely considered factors like infrastructure constraints, resource allocation, and maintaining decorum, especially for virtual proceedings. The refusal suggests that granting universal public access, particularly for all media, poses logistical challenges that outweigh immediate benefits in the court's current assessment.
