In RTI cases, reasons for not disclosing info must be consistent: Supreme Court

Supreme Court has said today that in cases of Right to Information request, the State must clearly state reasons for refusing to disclose the requested information.

Housing Ministry did not respond to an RTI request submitted by RTI activist Ahmed Afrah Ismail in 2022 seeking information regarding the construction of Ameenee Magu. This was raised at the Information Commissioner's Office, which then ordered the ministry to comply.
