Delhi High Court on Monday granted two weeks’ more time to Delhi University to file its objections on the delay in filing appeals seeking disclosure of information related to the bachelor’s degree of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
During the previous hearing in February this year, a Division Bench of Chief Justice Devendra Kumar Upadhyaya and Justice Tushar Rao Gedela granted Delhi University three weeks to file its objections to the delay condonation applications and listed the matter for April 27.
On August 25, 2024, a single judge bench had set aside the Central Information Commission’s 2016 direction allowing disclosure of details related to the Prime Minister’s degree.
In response to a Right to Information (RTI) application filed by activist Neeraj Sharma, the Central Information Commission had on December 21, 2016, allowed the inspection of records of all students who cleared their BA exam in 1978, the same year Modi is believed to have passed it.
However, AAP MP Sanjay Singh, RTI activist Neeraj Sharma and advocate Mohd Irshad had filed pleas against the single-judge order. The petitioners argued that there were fundamental errors in the single judge’s order.
In November 2025, the Delhi High Court had flagged the delay in filing the appeals challenging the August 25, 2024 order on the disclosure of the details of PM Modi’s Bachelor’s degree from Delhi University.
The court had directed the Delhi University to submit its reply within three weeks to the applications explaining the delay in moving the appeals.
