Freedom of information act of 2002 (India)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Freedom of Information Act, 2002[1] was the precursor to Right to Information Act, 2005[2] of Parliament of India. The main weakness of this act was that it did not acknowledge the right to information of the people. Consequently, it provided for appeals only within the government bodies. It barred the jurisdiction of the courts and did not ensure any appeal with any independent body.[3]
