The Central Information Commission ruled that the disclosure of the identity of electoral bond scheme donors will not serve any larger public interest. Key Points The Central Information Commission is the lead body for implementing the Right to Information Act. The Commission has ruled that the disclosure of the identity of electoral bond scheme donors will not serve any larger public interest. It further states that the disclosure of the identity of electoral bond scheme donors will violate provisions of the Act itself. This ruling has come after a Maharashtra-based activist Vihar Durve sought information about the scheme donors.
