‘Thoroughly misconceived’: Delhi HC sets aside CIC order on Smriti Irani’s degree

The Delhi High Court overturned orders from the Central Information Commission (CIC) mandating CBSE to disclose Smriti Irani’s 10th and 12th grade results, citing a misconstrued approach. The court also quashed a CIC directive to reveal details of PM Modi’s bachelor’s degree, emphasizing that personal academic information isn’t inherently public, aligning with a Supreme Court judgment. The Delhi High Court overturned orders from the Central Information Commission (CIC) mandating CBSE to disclose Smriti Irani’s 10th and 12th grade results, citing a misconstrued approach.
