Constitution Bench of Supreme Court in its historic verdict dated 13.11.2019 in Civil Appeal numbers 10044 and 10045 of 2010 (Central Public Information Officer, Supreme Court versus Subhash Chandra Agrawal) had directed Central Public Information Officer (CPIO) of Supreme Court (para 90 on pages 107-108 of 250-page verdict) to re-examine the matter after following the procedure under section 11(1) of the RTI Act. The verdict was announced in open court in presence of parties in the case, and was in public domain by being uploaded on Supreme Court website on the same date.
Supreme Court CPIO has not intimated his decision on the RTI applications under reference despite much more than 40-45 days as stipulated in RTI Act under section 11 of RTI Act despite a reminder dated 06.01.2020 sent to him by Speed Post. The matter should attain finality at least now after about one decade of filing RTI applications.
