Plea seeking details of judges' salaries dismissed
Treating the details of salary and other perquisites given to the Chief Justice and other Judges of Madras High Court as "personal information", the State Information Commission (SIC) has rejected an activist's plea to furnish such information.
"Those details are protected information and there is also no demonstrable 'public interest' justifying the disclosure of the information in this case", said State Chief Information Commissioner, K.S.Sripathi and Information Commissioner S.F.Akbar, dismissing an appeal filed by V. Gopalakrishnan of M.G.R.Nagar here.
Mr. Gopalakrishnan filed an application with the Public Information Officer (PIO), Madras High Court, seeking to furnish information under the Right to Information Act. He also sought information relating to the copy of salary main bill submitted in respect of the Chief Justice and other judges of Madras High Court for last two years.
