Delhi High Court has set aside a Central Information Commission's order to the Centre to reveal to it the communication between the former Prime Minister Atal Behari Vajpayee and the then President K R Narayanan over the 2002 Gujarat riots. Justice Anil Kumar gave the order allowing the Centre's appeal against the CIC's directions . A full bench of CIC on 8th August 2006 had called for correspondences sought by a person .

The Centre had approached the Delhi High Court against the CIC order claim in that such disclosures would affect the sovereignty and integrity of the country.
