Panaji, Jun 5 (PTI) The Goa bench of the Bombay High Court will hear a petition filed by Governor S S Sidhu tomorrow in connection with Right to Information Act (RTI).
The Goa Governor's special secretary N Radhakrishnan filed a petition in the High Court challenging the order of State Information Commission (SIC) which had directed Raj Bhavan to furnish details of the information sought by an activist under RTI.
The activist, Aires Rodrigues, had sought details of action taken by the Governor on his complaint against Advocate General of Goa Subodh Kantak.
The State Chief Information Commissioner Motilal Keny, in his order dated March 31, had ruled that since Goa Governor was a public authority he did come within the ambit of RTI.
Rodrigues had moved to the SIC following Raj Bhavan's refusal to furnish certain details sought under the RTI.
