In a landmark judgement which aims to make the country's judiciary more transparent, the High Court in the Indian national capital Tuesday ruled that the office of the Chief Justice of India comes under the purview of the Right to Information Act (RTI). According to the judgement, the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court K.G. Balakrishnan will now have to disclose his as well as other apex court judges' assets under the RTI Act. 'The judicial independence is not a privilege to a judge but a responsibility,' the High Court said. High Court judges will also have to declare their assets next week, according to the judgement. Earlier, the Chief Justice of India had maintained that his office was beyond the ambit of RTI Act and the information including the declaration of assets of its judges cannot be made public under it.
