Amitava Chaudhury, an RTI activist, and Partha Chatterjee, leader of the Opposition in the state Assembly, filed petitions in 2007 before the State Information Commission for disclosure of the agreement between Tata Motors and WBIDC.
In 2008-end, the Information Commission asked WBIDC to hand over the agreement in a sealed cover. Following this, Tata Motors filed a petition in the Calcutta High Court with the contention that the Information Commission could not pass such orders as it had not been properly constituted. At that point of time, the Information Commission was run by Chief Information Commissioner Arun Bhattacharya.
Tata Motors had contended that the Information Commission had not been constituted properly as it was run by only the Chief Information Commissioner. Two month ago, Sujit Sarkar, a former IPS officer of the state, was appointed Commissioner of the Information Commission.
