Supreme Court to hear pleas on extending RTI to political parties
The Supreme Court on Tuesday agreed to hold a detailed hearing on a bunch of petitions seeking to bring political parties under the ambit of Right to Information (RTI) Act but underlined obvious limitations. 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.”
