The Gujarat High Court on Friday set aside the seven-year-old order of the Central Information Commission (CIC), asking the Gujarat University and the PMO to provide information on Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s graduate and post graduate degrees to Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal.


Allowing the university’s appeal against the CIC order, Justice Biren Vaishnav also imposed a cost of Rs 25,000 on Kejriwal and asked him to deposit the amount within four weeks to the Gujarat State Legal Services Authority. He also refused to stay his order as requested by Kejriwal’s lawyer Percy Kavina.
