Supreme Court Issues Notice On PIL To Allow Virtual Hearing Access In CIC Through Direct Links

The Supreme Court has issued a notice regarding a Public Interest Litigation (PIL) that advocates for virtual hearing access in the Central Information Commission (CIC) through direct links. The PIL argues that facilitating virtual hearings can enhance accessibility and transparency in the handling of Right to Information (RTI) cases. By issuing a notice, the Court acknowledges the importance of modernizing procedures to improve public access to information and the efficiency of the CIC. The outcome of this case could significantly impact how information commissions operate, potentially leading to greater inclusion and streamlined processes in handling RTI appeals.
