JUDICIAL TRANSPARENCY UNDER THE RIGHT TO INFORMATION REGIME: BALANCING COURT INDEPENDENCE, PUBLIC ACCOUNTABILITY, AND INSTITUTIONAL SECRECY
Open accessAbstract
The degree to which the judiciary can be required to embrace transparency without compromising freedom to decide, private deliberations, or legitimate confidentiality as an independent branch of the government remains an enduring question as far as the Indian Constitution is concerned. This Article critically examines the constitutional right to know, the Right to Information Act, 2005, the major judicial pronouncements on the issue of court and judges' related disclosures, and the recent institutional materials of the Supreme Court of India, including the Supreme Court of India's annual reports, quarterly Right to Information responses, and 2025 disclosures. In the absence of absolute secrecy and openness, Indian law has moved to an approach where the public nature of the judiciary mandates significant disclosures, and privacy and fiduciary and security concerns, as well as partial deliberations, justify nondisclosure.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
