RIGHT TO INFORMATION LAWS & POLICIES IN INDIA by DR. BABU SARKAR

Right to Information Laws & Policies in India is a comprehensive guide that examines the evolution, framework, and application of the Right to Information (RTI) in India. The book provides an in-depth analysis of the Right to Information Act, 2005, its objectives, scope, and the legal obligations it places on public authorities. It explains the procedures for seeking information, the role of Information Commissions, exemptions under the Act, and penalties for non-compliance.

Special focus is given to the judicial interpretations, landmark judgments, and the interaction of RTI with other legislations such as the Official Secrets Act, Data Protection laws, and service rules. The book also discusses policy dimensions, challenges in implementation, misuse of RTI, and reforms needed to strengthen transparency and accountability in governance.

With updated references, case laws, and comparative perspectives, this work serves as a valuable resource for lawyers, judges, policymakers, academicians, journalists, activists, and students of law and public administration.
