There is limited scope of
interference by the Courts on any matter arising out of any proceeding under
the Right to Information Act. There is a specific Bar of jurisdiction of
Lower Courts. That means the Courts donot have any power to look into
matters arising out of proceeding under this Act. The Act further
specifies that the decision of the Commission shall be binding. A citizen of
India has therefore to follow the appeal mechanism prescribed in the Act.
However, this does not mean that the decision of the Commission are final and
cannot be challenged further.
The Fundamental Right of every citizen enshrined in the
Constitution of India are sacrosanct and cannot be curtailed by any Law
including the Right to Information Act. And, if these rights are violated, writ
jurisdiction of High Courts and Supreme Court shall always be allowed.
