Infos

The book critically examines the praxis of Right to Information Act and employee's grievance redressal system in India. This book initiates the debate on whether the Act leads to an actual redressal of grievances or is it merely an attempt to gather innocuous information which may not have further use. It questions whether the absence of an in-built redressal mechanism defeats the core purpose with which the Act waspromulgated. The numerous debates and controversies have surfaced after the implementation ofthe Act. Many frictions were created between the affected parties i.e. the government, bureaucracy, judiciary etc. on one hand and the general public on the other hand. Instead of reducing the burden on the judicial system of India, the Act has resulted in increasing the cases related to denial of information from public offices that have reached the courts of law. It has lead to an additional burden on bureaucracy which is already crumbling under pressure. Finally, the book argues for public accountability in India and Odisha.
