Understanding Right to Information Act
The right to access information held by public authorities, responsibilities of public authorities, exemptions, appeals and disclosure mechanisms.
Right to Information Act is best approached by first understanding the purpose it serves and the people or organisations it affects. This reading space will help translate that starting point into practical questions for day-to-day work.
A good first reading does not replace professional advice. It helps a reader recognise the right issue, prepare the right information and know when a deeper review is needed.
