In a democracy, people of supreme and sovereign. The government, which draws its authority basically from the people, is accountable to them for its conduct of affairs. Transparency and openness in public affairs is sine quo non for making the government and its instrumentalities accountable and responsible to the people. To promote the transparency in governmental affairs and thereby to hold the governmental instrumentalities more accountable to the common men is the Right to Information Act, 2005 legislated. The relationship of the common man with the government is intended to be changed by this Act, the former more informed, knowledgeable and powerful and the later more accountable and responsible than ever before.
