Dr. Madhu Sudan Dash

Abstract :

 The Right to Information Act intends to provide an effective framework for effectuating the right of information  recognised under Article 19 of the Constitution of India. As contemplated by the Act, every citizen has right to information. At the same time, the Act provides certain exemptions from disclosure in accordance with Sections 8 and 9. More specifically, under  Section 8(1)(h) of the RTI Act, any information which would impede the process of investigation or apprehension or prosecution of offender,  such disclosure is barred. If any information, which is being sought, can be had from the competent court trying the case, the said court can  alone decide how the information is to be dispensed.
