the following passage carefully and answer the questions 55 to 60:
James Madison said, “A people who mean to be their own
governors must arm themselves with power that knowledge gives.” In India, the
Official Secrets Act, 1923 was a convenient smokescreen to deny members of the
public access to information. Public functioning has traditionally been shrouded in
secrecy. But in a democracy in which people govern themselves, it is necessary
to have more openness. In the maturing of our democracy, right to information
is a major step forward; it enables citizens to participate fully in the
decision-making process that affects their lives so profoundly. It is in this
context that the address of the Prime Minister in the Lok Sabha is significant.
He said, “I would only like to see that everyone, particularly our civil
servants, should see the Bill in a positive spirit; not as a draconian law for
paralyzing Government, but as an instrument for improving Government-Citizen
interface resulting in a friendly, caring and effective Government functioning
for the good of our People.” He further said, “This is an innovative Bill,
where there will be scope to review its functioning as we gain experience.
Therefore, this is a piece of legislation, whose working will be kept under
constant reviews.”
The Commission, in its
Report, has dealt with the application of the Right to Information in
Executive, Legislature and Judiciary. The judiciary could be a pioneer in
implementing the Act in letter and spirit because much of the work that the
Judiciary does is open to public scrutiny, Government of India has sanctioned
an e-governance project in the Judiciary for about Rs 700 crores which would
bring about systematic classification, standardization and categorization of
records. This would help the judiciary to fulfil its mandate under the Act. Similar
capacity building would be required in all other public authorities. The
transformation from nontransparency to transparency and public accountability
is the responsibility of all three organs of State.
