Right to Information Act’s role in __________________
(1) a more informed citizenry and an accountable government has never been
in doubt ever since its implementation in 2005. But there have been persistent
and growing misgivings. Section 4 of the Act calls for pro-active and voluntary
__________________ (2) of
information, but only a few Central and State institutions have published
relevant information; here, Rajasthan has taken a lead through its Jan Soochna
portal. The other problem has been persisting vacancies in the State and
Central Information Commissions, which was raised in a plea in the Supreme
Court on Monday. A three-judge Bench led by the CJI allowed the request and
asked the Centre and States to __________________ (3) filling up the vacancies. The CJI also curiously observed that
officials were sensing fear leading to paralysis of action due to the working
of the RTI, going on to __________________
(4) that the kind of queries that were sometimes being asked were not
always in public spirit and were posed by people who had no “locus standi” in
the matter regarding the queries. This argument by the CJI is difficult to
accept as the RTI Act __________________
(5) rejects the need for locus standi in Section 6(2) — “an applicant
making request for information shall not be required to give any reason for
requesting the information…”. This clause is present for vital reasons —
seeking locus standi in order to respond to public requests could result in a
chilling effect as public authorities (PAs) could choose to deny information to
general citizens on subjective grounds. Besides, information commissioners and
public officials have the authority to reject requests based on criteria that
enable __________________ (6) from
information disclosure. Data on RTI requests since 2005 show that the yearly
rejection rate (requests rejected as a percentage of those received) has come
down steadily to 4.7% in 2018-19. A change in the Act that seeks locus standi
as a __________________ (7) could
dramatically increase this number.
