SC SAID ACADEMIC RECORDS FALL WITHIN REALM OF “PERSONAL INFORMATION” PROTECTED BY THE RIGHT TO PRIVACY
The Delhi high court on Monday said that Delhi University is not obliged to disclose details of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s academic records, including his Bachelor's degree, setting aside a Central Information Commission (CIC) order from December 2016 that directed the university to release Modi’s undergraduate degree certificate.
Justice Sachin Datta held that academic records, including Modi’s bachelor’s degree, fall within the realm of “personal information” protected by the fundamental right to privacy, and cannot be disclosed under the Right to Information (RTI) Act unless an overriding public interest is established.
