The Central Information Commission (CIC) has rejected objections raised by the Supreme Court directing it to disclose details of medical reimbursement of judges in the last three years and the rules relating to appointment of retired judges as arbitrators.

Clubbing together three RTI applications of activist S C Agrawal, the commission also directed the apex court to disclose the list of all resolutions passed by meetings of all the judges since 1997.

The information sought in three separate applications was denied by the SC either on the grounds that it was personal in nature or it was not available in the form sought by Agrawal.

Chief information commissioner Satyananda Mishra rejected the reasons cited by the apex court for withholding the information and directed it to furnish rules and guidelines relating to appointment of apex court judges as arbitrators, medical reimbursement by judges and the list of resolutions.

He said it was "very difficult" to accept the contention of the Supreme Court that "simple statistical information" as the total expenses incurred on medical reimbursement for individual judges or the list of resolutions passed in meetings of all its judges should not be available.

"All offices funded by the state have to maintain accounts of all expenses made on such heads as medical records again to provide to the appellant within 15 days of receipt of this order," Mishra said. He directed the Supreme Court to ensure that arrangements are made in future for maintaining such information in digital format as mandated under the RTI Act so its retrieval and disclosure would become easier.
