The public information officer of the Bombay High Court has rejected a Right to Information (RTI) application pertaining to the structural audits of the court's heritage building in south Mumbai, stated a PTI report. Reportedly, the decision was based on the claim that divulging such information could jeopardise the safety of the judges and other officials.

Environmental activist Zoru Bathena, who had lodged the RTI request, sought copies of the most recent three structural audits conducted on both the main and annexe buildings of the Bombay High Court, the report stated. Bathena's purpose was to use this information in a separate case concerning the restoration of the 135-year-old reservoir at Malabar Hill in south Mumbai.
