Right to Information Versus Indian Judiciary: An analysisAuthor: Dwarika Prasad* Faculty of Law, Meerut College, Meerut Email address: dpmcm72@gmail.com
Abstract:
The Court must be the most accountable institution in any democracy
because of its vital role as a watchdog. In fact, judges must be held to
standards that are higher than any other government officials. This can
be, only if RTI Act is made applicable to the Supreme Court. That will
ensure that the court, like any other institution, is accountable to the
people.
Any legislation of Indian legislature has binding force on each organs
including judiciary until the same is declared ultra-vires. As a guardian
of Constitution, Judiciary has empowered only to check the
constitutionality of particular legislation on well founded grounds and to
interpret the provisions. So long as any Act stands valid, it must be
observed by the judiciary. Same is true in respect of R.T.I. Act 2005.
The Court is not covert coward but an eloquently open and fearlessly
frank institution. Secrecy is incompatible with the judiciary; otherwise
our democracy will become a travesty and they have not humanity will
face authoritarian governance by a proprietariat oligarchy.
