Witness' Entry At Trap Venue Doubtful, Bribe Demand Not Proved Beyond Reasonable Doubt: Telangana HC Quashes Conviction Under PC Act

The Delhi High Court directed the Central Information Commission (CIC) to decide whether the Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust qualifies as a public authority under the RTI Act. The Trust, responsible for the construction of the Ram Temple in Ayodhya, had been asked to disclose information under the Right to Information Act. The Court’s decision will determine whether the Trust must adhere to transparency requirements. This case is significant in addressing the applicability of RTI provisions to religious and charitable organizations.
