NEW DELHI: Though prepared to disclose information about the educational degrees held by PM Narendra Modi, the Prime Minister’s Office (PMO) is deeply unhappy over the Central Information Commission’s (CIC) order, which it feels is legally flawed and lacking in competence.Sources said information commissioner M Sridhar Acharyulu’s decision to treat Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal’s arguments in a case that did not relate to Modi’s degrees as a “deemed” RTI application was legally unsustainable.The PM’s degrees — a BA from Delhi University in 1978 and a masters from Gujarat University in 1983 — have not been placed in “secure” custody where they will be safe from accidental loss. The PM’s Lok Sabha 2014 election affidavit stated his educational qualifications to be MA from Gujarat University, Ahmedabad (1983), BA from DUU (1978) and SSC from Board of Gujarat (1967).Acharyulu himself noted that Kejriwal’s response in the case relating to his voter identity card that he had no objection to disclosing information contained in the records skipped the main part of the RTI notice, sources said.Yet, the CM’s argument that while CIC wanted his information to be given out, it was allegedly obstructing data on Modi’s degrees was treated by Acharyulu as an application under RTI.The information commissioner said educational qualifications about a public servant or politician could not be stated as personal information, but also noted that these were not prescribed for the PM’s post.The CIC’s decision to order disclosure of the PM’s degrees, sources said, on the logic that a citizen holding the post of CM has sought the information means the commission treated Kejriwal on a different pedestal. The CIC also seems to have overstepped its jurisdiction in issuing directions to Gujarat University to release information on the PM’s post-graduate degree as the varsity is covered by the state RTI Act. Acharyulu had asked the PMO to provide the year and roll number of Modi’s degrees.It was also odd that while an appeal or complaint relating to the PMO is maintainable before the chief information commissioner, the information commissioner went ahead with an order.
