What happened

The Gujarat High Court rejected Arvind Kejriwal's appeal against an order imposing ₹25,000 costs in litigation concerning disclosure of information about Prime Minister Narendra Modi's degree. The appeal arose from the long-running Right to Information dispute over educational records. The Court declined to interfere with the challenged order, leaving the costs direction intact. The decision concerns the procedural and legal consequences of the RTI litigation and should not be read as an independent adjudication of political claims made outside the record. Any further challenge would have to proceed through an available appellate remedy in accordance with applicable procedural law and limitation requirements.

Legal significance
