An informed citizenry and transparency of information, removing corruption and to hold Governments and their instrumentalities accountable for their actions are main objectives of RTI Act enacted in 2005. To achieve these objectives, the Public authorities are empowered to appoint Central and State PIOs to disclose information and to make this Act a reality. Significantly, only citizens of India are entitled to exercise their right under this Act. However, to enable aggrieved applicants to redress their grievances, the Act provides for establishment of two Commissions, i.e., the Central Information Commission (CIC) and the State Information Commissions (SICs). The author has made a humble attempt to analyse judgments of the CIC.
