The Gujarat High Court ruled that the Prime Minister’s Office (PMO) need not furnish the degree and post-graduate degree certificate of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Pertinently, the Court also imposed fine of Rs 25,000 on Arvind Kejriwal who had sought details of the PM’s degree certificate.
Single-judge Justice Biren Vaishnav set aside the order of the Chief Information Commission (CIC) directing the public information officer (PIO) of PMO and the PIOs of Gujarat University and Delhi University to furnish details of Modi’s graduate and postgraduate degrees.
