Dear Sarbajit, Like I said before, the human rights discourse is much more complex than what it is portrayed to be in the layperson's understanding. Rights do not vest in an individual as a reward for duties performed. They arise and vest because of the inherent dignity of the human being which he/she is entitled to, therefore they are not directly linked with the performance of duties. But since this is not a forum for discussing human rights I rest this matter here. You also need to look at the statement of objects and reasons of the RTI Bill as tabled in Parliament in 2004. The RTI Act was brought in to give effect to the implied fundamental right to information. It as not been downgraded. Instead a system and a mechanism has been created for the exercise of this fundmental right and that has been given primacy over OSA. If we miss this point then we end up misleading other members of this group. RTI is not merely a statutory right. It is a law that gives effect to a dundamental right. This has been recognised in several HC decision on RTI matters but some HCs I would respectfully say got it wrong when they held that it is a statutory right in addition to the fundamental right to know. Any good government will pass laws to promote, fulfil and protect rights. That is why NREGA was passed protecting the right to livelihood and a just wage for people in rural areas, Prevention of Torture Bill is being debated to provide for a system where torture can be prevented or wher it occurs it can be dealt with (but the Bill is crazily drafted). By passing a law to enable the exercise a fundamental right, that right does not get downgraded. Of course section 8 contains more restrictions than the list of reasonable restrictions found in article 19(2). Again I rest my case on this issue.
