Madras High Court has stayed the Central Information Commissioner’s (CIC) proceedings on declaring the Indian cricket board as a public authority under the RTI Act.
The stay was granted by Justice K K Sasidharan while passing interim orders on Wednesday on a petition by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) challenging the CIC proceedings.
‘There shall be an order of interim stay of all proceedings pursuant to the impugned (CIC) order in the mean time,’ the Judge ruled.
‘...in view of the same and taking into account the larger issue raised by the petitioner, issue notice to respondents (CIC and RTI applicant) returnable by 20 August,’ he said.
