HC stays RTI order on ICAI
The Delhi HC has stayed its order directing ICAI to provide certified copy of answer sheets to its students under the RTI Act. The ICAI contended that the students have no right to seek disclosure of their answer sheet as it does not fall under the purview of RTI Act. The details of the judgement are yet to follow.

New Delhi: The Delhi High Court today stayed its order directing Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI) to provide certified copy of answersheet to its students under the Right to Information Act.
A Division Bench of Chief Justice A P Shah and Justice N K Kaul stayed the operation of the order passed by a single judge bench on April 30.
Senior Advocate Soli Sorabjee, appearing for the Institute, contended that students have no right to seek disclosure of their answer sheet and it does not come under the purview of the RTI Act.
The single bench had directed the Institute to provide a copy of the answersheet to its students under the RTI Act saying it could not be excluded from the purview of the Right to Information Act and examination authority cannot deny answersheet to students.
Observing that the Act confers positive power to a citizen which should not be hindered by authorities, the court dismissed the plea of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India challenging the CIC's order to provide a certified copy of the answer sheet to a student who could not clear the exam.
