The PIL (Writ Petition No. 4676/2014) filed before the High Court of Delhi argues that the Right to Information Act takes precedence over other legislations governing information dispensation by public authorities. The Petition, inter alia, prays for a declaration that Section 144 of the Patents Act is ultra vires the Constitution of India inasmuch as it unreasonably and arbitrarily prohibits public access to Examiner reports without any justifiable end.
