Supreme Court to hear pleas on extending RTI to political parties

IndiaTimes Tuesday, 25 July 2023

The apex court posted the hearing for August 1 but responded to the petitioners’ clamour for an expeditious adjudication of the long-pending issue by saying, “We do not think we can ask the political parties why they selected a particular candidate to contest from a constituency.”
