The Supreme Court administration has turned down a Right to Information (RTI) request seeking access to the report prepared by a committee appointed by the apex court, which had indicted Allahabad High Court judge Justice Yashwant Varma in connection with the recent cash recovery controversy.
The RTI plea also requested copies of communications sent by the then Chief Justice of India (CJI) Sanjiv Khanna to President Droupadi Murmu and Prime Minister Narendra Modi regarding the matter. However, the court administration denied the request, citing the confidential nature of these communications and the possibility that disclosure could infringe on parliamentary privileges.
