Title

ANALYSIS OF RIGHT TO INFORMATION (AMENDMENT) ACT, 2019

Authors

Abstract

Right to information means the freedom of people to have access to government information. RTI act implies that citizens and NGO’s may request information from a public authority pertaining to government operations which should be replied by RTI authorities within 30 days. This Paper deals with issues pertaining to Right to Information (Amendment) Act, 2019. This act amends section 13 and section 16 of the RTI Act, 2005. Section 13 and Section 16 of the original act sets the term of Central Chief Information Commissioner, State Level Information Commissioner and Information Commissioners at 5 years or 65 years of age, whichever is earlier. Section 13 and Section 16 of original act also states that salaries, allowances and other terms of service of the Central Chief Information Commissioner shall be same as that of Chief Election Commissioner and those of Information Commissioners shall be same as that of an Election Commissioner. The Salaries, allowances and other terms of service of State Chief Information Commissioner will be same as that of an Election Commissioner and those of State Information Commissioners be same as that of the Chief Secretary to the state government. But the RTI Amendment Act, 2019 has proposed that the appointments, salaries, allowances and other terms of services of Central Chief Information Commissioner, Information Commissioners, State Chief Information Commissioner and State Information Commissioners shall be as prescribed by the central government. In this perspective the researcher tries to throw light on issues such as: whether the RTI (Amendment) Act, 2019 interferes with the functioning of RTI and curtail the independence of RTI authorities? whether such an amendment is an assault on the idea of federalism? Whether there is excessive delegation of power by legislature to Central executive?

Key Words

RTI Act, 2005, RTI (Amendment) Act, 2019, Information Commissioner, Excessive delegation, Central government.
