NEW DELHI: Congress president Sonia Gandhi may be a strong proponent of Right to Information Act, claiming it as a major achievement of UPA government, but her daughter Priyanka Gandhi Vadra has been resisting disclosure of information about her land deals under the transparency law.In a writ petition filed before the Himachal Pradesh high court on July 6, seeking a stay order, Priyanka Gandhi has slammed the pro-disclosure order of the Himachal Pradesh State Information Commission (SIC) and accused it of mala fide abuse of power for ordering to make public details of her land purchase at Charabbra village in Shimla "The unnecessary assistance and support provided by the respondentauthorities to respondent (Dev Ashish Bhattacharya) is mala fide and depicts complete non-application of mind by the respondent authorities. The impugned order is therefore untenable in the eyes of law," Gandhi has said in her petition.Bhattacharya had filed an RTI application seeking file notings, copies of sale deeds and relaxations being given regarding two plots bought by Gandhi at Charabbra village. On June 29, a full bench of SIC ruled in favour of Bhattacharya and said the details of two plots – one bought in 2007 and another in 2012 – be made public within 10 days.When contacted, Bhattacharya told ET, "The deadline set by commission to revenue department for giving me the information was July 8. But right before the courts closed on July 7, at 3.30 pm, a special bench passed a stay order, denying me my right to information. Now the next date of hearing is August 7."Priyanka Gandhi in her petition argued that disclosure of land deals would not serve any public interest. She also questioned the antecedents and intentions of the RTI activist. She said Bhattacharya is not a Himachali and lacked the locus standi to question the correctness of granting a relaxation to buy a property in Himachal Pradesh.
