Third party can access judgment copy

Part of: GS Prelims and GS-II- Judiciary, Governance

In News:

Apex court has ruled that court documents such as copies of judgments and pleadings can be obtained only if court rules permit it, and not under the RTI Act.
The bench upheld Rule 151 of Gujarat High Court Rules, which allows access to certified copies of judgments, orders and pleadings to a third-party — or those not party to a case — only under the order of an officer of the court.
In November 2019, unanimous decision by a five-judge bench had said that “transparency does not undermine judicial independence” while bringing the CJI office under RTI.
