Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions 46 to 51 :

James Madison said, “A people who mean to be their own governors must arm themselves

with power that knowledge gives.” In India, the Official Secrets Act, 1923 was a convenient

smokescreen to deny members of the public access to information. Public functioning has

traditionally been shrouded in secrecy. But in a democracy in which people govern themselves, it

is necessary to have more openness. In the maturing of our democracy, right to information is a

major step forward; it enables citizens to participate fully in the decision-making process that

affects their lives so profoundly. It is in this context that the address of the Prime Minister in the

Lok Sabha is significant. He said, “I would only like to see that everyone, particularly our civil

servants, should see the Bill in a positive spirit; not as a draconian law for paralyzing

Government, but as an instrument for improving Government-Citizen interface resulting in a

friendly, caring and effective Government functioning for the good of our People.” He further

said, “This is an innovative Bill, where there will be scope to review its functioning as we gain

experience. Therefore, this is a piece of legislation, whose working will be kept under constant

reviews.”

The Commission, in its Report, has dealt with the application of the Right to Information in

Executive, Legislature and Judiciary. The judiciary could be a pioneer in implementing the Act

in letter and spirit because much of the work that the Judiciary does is open to public scrutiny,

Government of India has sanctioned an e-governance project in the Judiciary for about ` 700

crores which would bring about systematic classification, standardization and categorization of

records. This would help the judiciary to fulfil its mandate under the Act. Similar capacity

building would be required in all other public authorities. The transformation from nontransparency

to transparency and public accountability is the responsibility of all three organs of

State.
