With reference to the letters/representations cited above, I state that the court matter, wherein it is held that there is a statutory prohibition under Section 126 of the Indian Evidence Act, r/w. Rules framed under section 49(1)(c) of the Advocate Act, 1961, for any counsel, including the Public Prosecutor, to divulge any information, which they obtained during the professional work. Hence, I could not furnish the information required by you, under the RTI Act, 2005, which is related to the court matter.”
