The Madhya Pradesh High Court has granted RTI activist Ajay Dubey permission to examine letters sent by the state Governor to the Centre since 2011, detailing the state's political and administrative climate.
The Madhya Pradesh High Court has issued an order permitting RTI activist Ajay Dubey to inspect a collection of documents originating from Raj Bhavan. The letters, dispatched by the state Governor since 2011, were addressed to the Union Government and reportedly contain assessments of the state's political and administrative environment.
According to the court's ruling, the inspection will be conducted under supervision to ensure confidentiality of any sensitive information. The decision follows a petition filed by Dubey under the Right to Information Act, seeking transparency about the Governor's communications with the Centre.
Legal experts note that the order underscores the judiciary's role in upholding the RTI law while balancing the need to protect official correspondence. The outcome of the inspection could shed light on the nature of federal‑state interactions during a period marked by several political shifts in Madhya Pradesh.
