In a historic decision on 13 November 2019, the office of the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court has also been declared a ‘public office’. In such a situation, citizens will now be able to get answers to questions related to the Supreme Court as well as the Chief Justice.
However, the working information of the judges of the Supreme Court will not be made public, as it may affect many pending cases. From the point of view of security, many information related to the judges of the Supreme Court also do not come under this right. In such a situation, people have to take care of many things before asking for information.
