CIC orders on the Justice Vijendra Jain

Appeal filed by the Union of India against the order of CIC in the case of Shri SC Aggarwal who filed an RTI application to the President’s Secretariat and Dept of Justice, Union of India to get the information on the appointment of the Justice Vijendra Jain as Chief Justice of Punjab & Haryana High Court. He was refused the information and later filed an appeal to CIC wherein the CIC allowed the appeal and asked the Union of India to give the information. The Union of India moved to the Delhi High Court on the grounds that the Dept of Justice is in fiduciary relationship with the collegium of judges and will not be able to give such information to the third party. A counter affidavit has been filed on behalf of Shri SC Aggarwal for the vacation of the stay.
