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.
