Outgoing Chief Information Commissioner Wajahat Habibullah Saturday said that the judiciary had helped to strengthen the functioning of the Right To Information (RTI) Act.

'The judiciary has strengthened the functioning of the RTI Act,' Habibullah said at a media interaction at the Indian Women's Press Corps here.

His remarks came a day after the Supreme Court had suspended a Central Information Commission order that asked the apex court's registry to make public various documents on the recent appointment of its three judges superseding the chief justices of various high courts.
