Gujarat High Court Rejects Kejriwal's Appeal in PM Modi Degree Disclosure Case
The Gujarat High Court dismissed Arvind Kejriwal's appeal against a 2016 Central Information Commission directive requiring Gujarat University to disclose Prime Minister Narendra Modi's academic degree. The court upheld a Rs 25,000 cost imposed on Kejriwal, citing misuse of RTI provisions and rejecting claims that the degree was not publicly available. Kejriwal's counsel argued the CIC acted suo motu and challenged the cost, but the court found no grounds to interfere with the earlier rulings.
