A resolution drawn and signed by all the Collegium members can be said to be the final decision, SC Said
The Supreme court on Friday said that discussions within the judges-selecting judges Collegium system cannot be put in public domain through RTI.
While Dismissing a petition, Justices M R Shah & C T Ravikumar said only a resolution drawn and signed by all the Collegium members can be said to be the final decision.
The supreme court further said that “unless final decision is taken and a resolution is passed it can not be said to be a final decision of the collegium”.
Whatever is discussed in collegium need not be in public domain. Only final resolution is required to be published, the bench added
The Supreme court pronounced its judgment in an SLP filed by RTI activist Anjali Bharadwaj challenging a Delhi high court Judgement that dismissed her plea for information under the Right to Information Act regarding decisions taken by the Collegium in a meeting dated December 12, 2018.
