CIC Issues Notice to Sonia Gandhi

By Vijay Kumar

THE Central Information Commission has issued a fresh notice to Congress President Sonia Gandhi and to the CPIO of the Congress Party to explain their case before its Full Bench.

A Full Bench of the Commission comprising Information Commissioner Bimal Julka, Sridhar Acharyulu and Sudhir Bhargava will hear the complaint filed by ELT Editor R K Jain.

The fresh notice was issued after the orders of the Delhi High Court which had directed in August 2014 that the "complaint filed by the petitioner (RK Jain) be considered expeditiously and preferably within a period of six months" and subsequent complaint to the Commission by RK Jain against its registrar.
