CASE SUMMARY Case: C.A. No. 004295/1998 | Petitioner: People's Union for Civil Liberties & Anr. | Respondent: U.O.I. & Ors. | Date: 06/01/2004 The Supreme Court dismissed the appeals challenging the government's withholding of an Atomic Energy Regulatory Board (AERB) report documenting 130 safety defects in Indian nuclear installations. The Court upheld Section 18 of the Atomic Energy Act, 1962, finding it constitutionally valid and not an unreasonable restriction on the right to information under Article 19(1)(a), as nuclear safety matters are sensitive and disclosure could compromise national security.
