Outcome
HC Registry is §2(h); administrative records disclosable; case-specific records via CPC certified-copies procedure.
Ratio decidendi
High Court Registries are public authorities under §2(h). Administrative records — recruitment, budget, CAG audit responses, §4(1)(b) disclosures — are disclosable under RTI. Case-specific records (pleadings, orders) remain accessible through the court's certified-copies procedure under CPC and HC Rules, not RTI.
