The Gujarat Legislative Assembly has opposed a PIL seeking live telecast of its proceedings and sharing of other documents online, saying it is its discretion to determine what information it deems fit to be published. During a hearing on Tuesday in the Gujarat High Court, the Assembly secretariat told a division bench of Justices R.M. Chhaya and Nirzar S.
