Delhi High Court Criticizes MCD for Not Publishing Records Despite RTI Act Mandate

The Delhi High Court reprimanded the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) for failing to proactively publish its legislative records, house proceedings, and resolutions online despite the Right to Information (RTI) Act's 20-year mandate. Hearing a PIL by an NGO, the court emphasized that public authorities must disclose such information to minimize RTI requests. The MCD assured that steps to upload the data are underway, but the court directed it to file an affidavit detailing compliance within 120 days.
