    Ahmedabad: PM Modi need not declare degrees, Gujarat High Court fines Kejriwal

    The Gujarat High Court on Friday said in a judgment that there is no need for the Prime Minister’s Office to announce the graduation and post-graduation degrees of Prime Minister Modi. Not only this, the High Court also imposed a fine of Rs 25,000 on the petition filed by Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, calling it frivolous and misleading. Kejriwal had asked for the details of PM Modi’s degree certificate.

    Instructions given to CM Kejriwal

    CM Kejriwal has now been directed to deposit the amount of this fine in the State Legal Services Department of Gujarat State. Significantly, the CIC of India had issued an order directing the Public Information Officer (PIO) of the PMO and the PIOs of Gujarat University and Delhi University to disclose the details of PM Modi’s undergraduate and postgraduate degrees. Now the Single Bench of Justice Biren Vaishnav in the Gujarat High Court has set aside the CIC order.
