Freedom of information act of 2002 (India)

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]
