The judgment comes at a time when the RTI Act and the information commissioners overseeing RTI appeals have been weakened by the Centre assuming greater powers in determining their tenure and terms of service. In a way judiciary has restated the salience of the RTI Act, just when the executive seemed intent on devaluing it.
