Delhi high court: RTI abuse has triggered paralysis in bureaucracy
Wednesday, 20 December 2023
Delhi High Court expresses concern over the abuse of the Right to Information (RTI) Act by government officials, leading to paralysis and fear. The court emphasizes that the RTI Act is meant to promote transparency and accountability in governance. It warns that the misuse of the act dilutes its importance and hinders government officials from fulfilling their duties. The court's remarks come during the hearing of a case where the Central Information Commission directed its registry to stop entertaining further cases from the petitioner, who was accused of abusing the RTI process.
