What We do

Strategic Litigation


In India, CHRI has been deeply involved in strategic litigation with the purpose of making public information that public authorities are unwilling to share for no justifiable reason. CHRI is slowly but surely chipping away at the mindset of official secrecy by litigating for the disclosure of the agenda and notes put up for the meetings of the Union Cabinet, monthly summaries of work done by government departments, public funds spent for security purposes and crucial information essential for holding public servants accountable for compliance with court directives or the human rights violations they have committed. CHRI’s pathbreaking work and success in these endeavours has inspired many citizens and groups across the country to demand similar information related to their own spheres of work
