IndiaTimes Friday, 3 November 2023
The Bombay High Court's public information officer has refused to disclose information about the structural audits of the court's heritage building in south Mumbai, citing concerns for the safety of judges and officials. Environmental activist Zoru Bathena had requested the information to support a case regarding the reconstruction of a reservoir. The officer rejected the application, stating that the information is exempted from disclosure for security purposes and that there is no demonstrated larger public interest. Bathena plans to file an appeal against the decision.
