Promoting an individual to be a Minister,blocking an elected candidate to become a cabinet Minister,threatening through lobbyist a Minister, if he grants Licence to a competitor,attempt to benefit from a land scam,planting stories in the Media,control of Media funds and with holding it,donating (? )Hospital Equipment…
all this ‘official secrets’?
Since when Tata did become part of the Government?
( or he is?)
On the same logic, even Terrorists can claim to privacy as it involves destabilization of the Government?
The Court has replied suitably, ad hoc, though.
Let’s see.
Tata group chief Ratan Tata argued before the Supreme Court on Thursday that telephone intercepts by law enforcement agencies, including the Niira Radia tapes, were part of official secrets and their leakage and unauthorized use by media was punishable under the Official Secrets Act.
The Bench said: “The court will attempt and try a balance between right to privacy, right to interception and right of public to know.”
