| Summary, etc. |
The Right to Information Act, 2005, is a potent weapon in the hands of citizens in their fight against corruption, embezzlement, manipulation, arbitrariness and misuse of powers. It lays down the foundation for good governance, embodying openness, transparency, responsiveness and participation. While taking the cue from experience of RTI implementation in Haryana, the author concludes that lack of awareness among masses and elite usage, a tug of war waged over information within administrative machinery, political insensitivity, leniency to penalise the erring officers and mosaic culture espoused by socio-economic and political contexts are some of the major impediments in the success of information regime in India. The ruling elite on pretexts of life notings, frivolous complaints and seeking exemption from RTI purview have sufficient reasons to convince that they are determined to perpetuate the exploitation, injustice and oppression of the masses under the garb of deliberate mystery of secrecy. - Reproduced. |
