Right to Information Act 2005, is a revolutionary piece of comprehensive legislation. It is a very small Act. Even then there is panic among the implementers on account of confusion in interpreting various provisions and the legal words used by the Legislature. As a new practical regime, as contemplated in the Right to Information Act, has been operationalized and a new information disclosure jurisprudence is being evolved, even then there happens to be confusion at times of taking decisions and resolving conflicting claims. The crucial issues are now coming on the public agenda and thus this Act is leading way to Good Governance. There have been series of Honble Supreme Court and High Court decisions on number of issues like public authority, third party, appeal procedures, fiduciary interest, public interest, substantially financed, controlled, imposition of penalty on PIO, disclosure, secrecy, privacy, penalty etc.
A need was felt, in the form of a Digest of RTI Case Laws as an additional resource, both for the public and Commission at large. The decisions and rulings given by Supreme Court and High Courts play a vital role because various legislative terms, concepts and intricacies are interpreted by them. This helps in bringing uniform clarity at all levels. The judgements have been incorporated in the present volume, under separate sectiononal order of the RTI Act, 2005. We believe that this will be a very useful, valuable and reliable resource for all the readers, such as, general trainers, Public Information Officers, Appellate Authorities and Public Authorities in particular for interpreting various provisions of the Right to Information Act.
