    Bhardwaj had filed this RTI petition on November 26, just 12 days after the President’s assent to both the ordinances, the Central Vigilance Commission (Amendment) Ordinance 2021 and the Delhi Special Police Establishment (Amendment) Ordinance, 2021.

    Through these ordinances, the tenure of CBI and ED directors has been increased to five years.

    Bhardwaj said in his petition, “According to Article 123(1) of the Constitution of India, Parliament shall, at any time except in the session of both the Houses, if the President is satisfied that the prevailing circumstances are such that it is necessary to take any immediate step.” So he (President) can approve such ordinances.

    Bhardwaj had demanded a copy of all records, material, information and facts in this regard, on the basis of which the President approved these ordinances.

    This is in defiance of a recent Supreme Court order, in which the court had said that Mishra’s tenure should not be extended.
    Bhardwaj mentioned this and said that it is worth noting that this ordinance and orders were given after the recent decision of the Supreme Court.

    Appeal against non-disclosure of information

Ho. However, after the completion of the matter of ordinances, information related to it was sought. These ordinances were approved and published in the Official Gazette and became effective from 14 November 2021.

    Bhardwaj said, “In no case is there any provision under the RTI Act, under which the record is not disclosed just because there is some part of it which the Public Information Officer (PIO) is of the view that it is not a part of the Act. Exempted under section 8. In such cases, the PIO should highlight the non-exempt part.
