Query about RTI Act.

Right to information is a fundamental right. But now it is a statutory obligation of the officer to furnish the information. The duty casts upon the person who denies information under malafides or ingorance of the act

Mis, Smith Sharma RTI Act is a boon to
common people but no common people know about that . Its a bounded duty
upon our advocate clan to educate the people. So keep doing that.

It is fundamental right under article 19 [1] [a]. I have nearly 15 files posted on RTI on this website.

Yes sir as you said it is a fundamental right and as others fundamental rights it is still a myth in general public

U r right, but citizens have to exert their rights. U cannot expect some one to give of his own volition. The govt has made arrangements, one has to avail it.

RTI is a fundamental right.

but practically its success is really limited !

RTI is definately our funadamental rt. It has been provided to all citizens of India.It has also been guaranteed by the constitution of India under art 19

Dear Sumit,

    At this juncture, it is imperative to note that the Supreme Court, in State of U.P v. Raj Narain - a 1974 case, recognized the ‘right to know’ as a right inherent in Fundamental Right to freedom of speech and expression guaranteed under article 19(1)(a) of the Constitution. Following this, a plethora of cases the right to information was recognized as a right implicit in the article 19(1)(a) and in article 21 (fundamental right to life and personal liberty).
