"Last Chance": Top Court Orders RBI To Disclose Bank Inspection Reports ndtv.com

The Supreme Court on Friday directed the Reserve Bank of India to disclose information about its annual inspection report of banks and the list of wilful defaulters under the Right to Information Act (RTI). The bench was hearing a contempt petition filed by RTI activists Subhash Chandra Agrawal and Girish Mittal against the RBI. Ordering the central bank to disclose the information unless exempted under law, the bench did not go ahead with contempt proceedings against the RBI. The Supreme Court had in January this year issued a contempt notice to the RBI for not disclosing the annual inspection report of banks under RTI.
