flag Delhi High Court to decide if PM Modi’s academic records must be disclosed despite privacy claims.

flag The Delhi High Court will hear appeals challenging a 2024 ruling that blocked disclosure of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s academic records, despite a 2016 Central Information Commission directive. flag The appeals, filed by RTI activist Neeraj Sharma, AAP leader Sanjay Singh, and advocate Mohd Irshad, contest a single judge’s decision that protected personal educational information under the RTI Act, citing privacy and the fiduciary duty of universities. flag The court previously stayed the CIC’s order in 2017, and the single judge ruled that academic records are not public information, even for public officials, unless required by law. flag The division bench, led by Chief Justice Devendra Kumar Upadhyaya and Justice Tushar Rao Gedela, will now assess whether public interest in the PM’s qualifications outweighs privacy rights. flag The case originated from an RTI application seeking details of Modi’s 1978 BA degree results.
