Lets wait for the HC judgement.

Personal views/prejudices/biase/predilections wouldn't matter at this stage,specially devoid of researched insight into the complex subject.

Seceral States are mandating transparency about Property REtyrns of AIS officials(public servants) They are and could be equally concerned about privacy and people are equally concerned about acquisition of assets by them.

Bake ki maa kab tak kher manayegi?(under any pretext. Till some revolution overturns the fortune of those who think they have some divine rights to rule and adjudicate the way they like,giving all fictious arguments).

Aage aage dekhiye hota hai kya.

3) Is it open to a single information commissioner to completely ignore "umpteen" decisions of his brother Commissioners especialy of those of a "full bench" of 5 Commssioners which included the Chief Information Commissioner ?

Is the HC stay permanent or proceedings have to begun on the CIC judgement?

Sarcastic comments are made by SC also on HC judges and their judgements,as also on GOI and its officials.

The underlying philosophy of balancing the case beween"privacy needs" on one side and " larger public interest needs" on the other is the one to be seen in judicial pronouncement.

What all wrong can go(and in fact as per any research has gone} in disclosure of IT Return info vis-a-vis what and how public good could happen?

Complex issues require intelligent decision making system,often not possible w/o recourse to base material and it could as well be some meaningful and reliable research study. How are judges so brilliant,say more than all of us very well informed people, to adjudicate on unprecedented issues wihout being armed with exceptional knowledge? They certainly aren't in modern complex world.They POSITIVELY need help of expert knowledge which is often based on relevant research studies.

Having handled umpteen cases in HC/SC,including review petitions(often successfully) and being sufficiently well conversant with philosophy of LAW as also scheme of CONSTITUTIONAL INTERPRETATION I could say that a casual comment by any HC judge/Bench is devoid of any meaning.

Its the final decision on the complex issue with all aspects considered judiciously that we could form opinion on the matter of access to IT return of politicos 9specially those who have contested elections and are going to do so.

Informed decision making for exercising the fundamental right of franchise might include the knowledge of the low down on assets/liabilities and modes of incomeand taxes paid .Those wanting to come to public life have to be much more transparent vis-a-vis the rest. Lives of people going to occupy public offices in USA are dissected fully and only on stringent scrutiny does one come to get appointed to high public offices.No scope for committing error at the initial stage itself.

Its all debatable and its preferable to eschew elaborate disussion on the subject at this stage.

Better if HC gives its verdict in CIC's stayed judgement.
