Delhi High Court Blocks Disclosure of Prime Ministers' Foreign Travel Records Citing Security
The Delhi High Court overturned a Central Information Commission order requiring the Indian Air Force to disclose records of foreign travel by Prime Ministers Narendra Modi and Manmohan Singh on IAF aircraft. The court ruled that releasing such information, even with redactions, could compromise security arrangements and pose national security risks. While the petitioner cited public interest due to expenditure of public funds, the court emphasized that security concerns outweighed disclosure in this case.
