Right To Information
Information is the lifeblood that sustains political, social and business decisions. Power resides in those entities. Constitutionally, speaking the right to or freedom of information can be traced to the freedom of speech and expression, and the right to life and personal liberty. There have been number of judgment rendered by the Supreme Court and other courts recognizing the fundamental nature of the right to information.
