Introduction :
Constitution of India vide its articles 19(1) and 21 envisages a right in favour of the citizen to know anything and everything done by public functionaries. Thus Right to know is the sine qua non of democracy. The Right to Information Act 2005 (RTI Act) was promulgated in the same background to strengthen the powers of citizen to secure the access to information held by the public authorities.
Section 7 of the RTI mandates the Public Authorities to disseminate the information held by it. The limitations and exemption from disclosure is contained in section (8) (9) and (24) of the RTI Act and to some extent also u/s 11 thereof.
RTI Act prescribes three forums for its implementation. The Public Information officer (PIO), the First Appellate Authority (FAA) and the second Appellate Authority or the central/State Information Commission (Commission).
