Book Titled "Right to Information Act 2005 Attempts To Help Use The Act Effectively


By yogisharma, Section GN
Posted on Fri Mar 07, 2008 at 02:25:17 AM EST

Two years ago, the country received the gift of a right to information law. The right was in fact granted about six decades ago with the Constitution, but remained largely on paper.

Dr Abhe Singh Yadav, additional deputy commissioner, Gurgaon, has tried to simplify the law for the common man by writing a book titled "Right to Information Act 2005 - An Analysis". The book is available in both English as well as Hindi languages.

While talking to the Tribune, Yadav, a student of law, revealed that he found it very strange that even though the RTI Act had come into force, government machinery and citizens were not utilising it properly. He said his working experience in the State Information Commission, Haryana, inspired him to author a book, which was free from legal complexities and help the public to understand the Act.

Yadav said the government officials were still afraid of making disclosures, which might be in the interest of the public. He said in his book, he had tried to highlight the basic provisions and norms of the Act for the education of the public and also suggested how the government machinery should follow it.

He revealed that there was no doubt that this Act had simple and easy provisions. People were steadily coming to know of their rights under the law and it would take some time before they question the government on matters detrimental to the public interest.

He said he tried to touch all possible problems faced by the public as well as the government officials relating and had made an effort to give simple and brief solutions.

Yadav said the Act provided a ray of hope to the affected people as it could be used to expose and penalise people responsible for misadministration. He was of the opinion that if the law was properly implemented, the problems of the corruption, misuse of power and harassment of the common people would be resolved. It would also make the system transparent, accountable and simple.

This act would empower the people, especially in the rural areas, who were hoodwinked in the name of development to question the authorities about the end results, he added.

Yadav said his next book on writ jurisdiction and its efficacy would be on the shelf by the end of next month. He said in the book, he had added the blueprints of his Ph.D on the efficacy of writ jurisdiction in socio legal critiques.
