SC stays Bombay HC order to make public Goa governor's report

NEW DELHI: The Supreme Court on Thursday stayed the Bombay High Court order asking the Goa Raj Bhawan to make public the governor's report to the Centre on political situation of the state during July-August 2007.

A bench comprising Justice Dalveer Bhandari, Justice TS Thakur and Justice Dipak Misra on Thursday put on hold the high court order on the plea of the Goa government.

The bench halted further proceedings on the matter and decided to examine the issue. The Goa government in its appeal said that the governor's office does not fall under the purview of the Right to Information Act.
