Delhi University fights RTI request for records of all 1978 BA graduates, including PM Modi, citing privacy.

Delhi University (DU) is arguing in the Delhi High Court that information of "public interest" differs from mere public curiosity, in a case involving an RTI request for records of all BA graduates from 1978, including Prime Minister Narendra Modi. DU claims the Central Information Commission's order to disclose these records as "arbitrary" and seeks to protect personal information. The court has asked whether the request serves public interest, with hearings continuing.
