CIC orders Delhi University and Gujarat University to provide Degree details of Prime Minister Narender Modi

The Central Information Commission (CIC) in a decision given on 29th April 2016 by Information Commissioner Shri M. Sridhar Acharyulu directed the Delhi University and Gujarat University to provide Degree details of Shri Narender Modi (Prime Minister) to the RTI applicant Shri Arvind Kejriwal (Chief Minister of Delhi).
Here is the link to the Judgment :



On 28th December 2016, Gujarat HC ordered hearing by a Single-Judge Bench on a Gujarat University petition seeking quashing of Central Information Commission order to provide information on Prime Minister Narendra Modi's educational degree to AAP leader Arvind Kejriwal.

In yet another Order passed by CIC on 21st December 2016 in the case of Neeraj vs Delhi University (Case No. CIC/SA/C/2016/900122), the CIC directed Delhi University to facilitate inspection of records related to all the BA students of 1978, which according to the University is the year when Prime Minister Narendra Modi got his degree. The RTI applicant had filed application to know the details of all students who had appeared in Bachelor of Arts course in the year 1978, their father name and their result but Delhi University had denied the information, prompting him to approach CIC.

However, the CIC order has been stayed by Delhi High Court on 23rd January 2017.
