Abstract

Secrecy is still prevailing in many department of government. After the independence we adopted constitution as a fundamental law of land and democracy as government. But true democracy survives only in openness and openness comes only through to knowledge or information. This right of information has been recognized as a fundamental right by our Supreme Court. From Raj Narain case to till that our Supreme Court has showed the way for the development of this right. The result of this creative interpretation by the Supreme Court is that now common man has come into a position that he can decided himself which representative is better for him and what is good for his health to consume. But efforts are continue by the vested interest, who already feels the heat of this right by to create hindrance in the development of this right. But Supreme Court continues to debar all such efforts which restricted the scope of this right.
