A section of the press has today wrongly reported the news on the hearing before the Supreme Court of the Special Leave Petition filed by the Special Secretary to the Governor of Goa against the Right to Information Act.
The Supreme Court has not stayed the order passed by the Bombay High Court at Goa which had ruled that the Goa Governor was a “Public Authority” and came within the ambit of the RTI Act. What the Supreme Court has only stayed is the further proceedings including that in the contempt petition filed by me against Special Secretary to the Governor of Goa for not complying with the RTI Act. The Special Leave petition before the Supreme Court has been filed by the Special Secretary to the Goa Governor and not by the Goa Government as wrongly reported.
