NEW DELHI: Supreme Court brushed aside on Monday pleas for making public names of candidates shortlisted by the selection panel for the posts of chief information commissioner and information commissioners after the Centre said the process would be completed in three weeks. "The selection panel comprising the PM, leader of the opposition and a Union Cabinet minister nominated by the PM would finalise the names in 2-3 weeks," additional solicitor general K M Nataraj told SC. Advocate Prashant Bhushan, appearing on behalf of social activist Anjali Bhardwaj, said the Centre is brazenly violating the SC order for making public names of all who had applied, those shortlisted, and the procedure adopted.
