The high court of Uttarakhand at Nainital has asked the government to submit before it documents related to appointment of former chief secretary Shatrughan Singh as the chief information commissioner (CIC) of Uttarakhand in 2016.

The petitioner said that a person like Shatrughan Singh would not be able to do justice to the post as his past record had shown that he did not implement some orders passed by the then CIC.(HT Photo)
