Collegium a multi-member body whose tentative decision cannot be brought in public domain: SC

New Delhi, Dec 9 (PTI) The Supreme Court on Friday dismissed a plea seeking disclosure of the details of a collegium meeting held on December 12, 2018 under the Right to Information Act, underlining a "tentative decision" of the multi-member body cannot be brought in the public domain.

A bench of Justices MR Shah and CT Ravikumar said only resolutions drawn and signed by all collegium members can be said to be a final decision. Tentative resolutions drawn upon discussion and consultation among the members cannot be said to be final unless they are signed by all of them, it said.

"Collegium is a multi-member body whose tentative decision cannot be brought in the public domain," it noted.
