J&K High Court Rules Against CIC's Interference in Appeals
The Jammu and Kashmir High Court has ruled that the Central Information Commission (CIC) cannot sit over appeals, keeping them undecided for years. This decision comes after a petition was filed by an individual seeking clarity on the CIC's role in handling appeals related to information requests. The ruling highlights the importance of transparency and accountability in governance, particularly in the context of information access. The court's stance is likely to impact the functioning of the CIC and its ability to handle appeals effectively.
