Right to privacy viz a viz right to information act, 2005

Privacy is a fundamental right which is essential to accord and which protect the dignity of the individual. Privacy authorise us to create barriers and manage boundaries to protect ourselves from unwarranted interference in our lives. Privacy is a key component of individual liberty but it is not absolute right because right to information act (2005) permits citizen to acquire information from the public authorities but it should also be known that RTI does not permit discloser of personal information. In the legal scenario it becomes interesting where two strands of approach securing two most cherished right squawking asserting their legitimate position. The right that are suggested are `RIGHT TO KNOW`AND`RIGHT TO PRIVACY` Which are standing to each other and are contradictory to one another. There is various landmark Judgement by the Apex court related to this two contradictory right or to concede the potency of these two rights.
