Judgments on right to information 2008

Gross violation of Human Rights, torture, social injustice which we mostly deplore in the developing countries are not necessarily due to "bad laws" enacted by the Parliaments/Legislature. On the contrary, most of these countries have really citizen-friendly, modern, progressive laws, legislation, rules & regulations. But unfortunately most of the people have not been able to assert their rights. Practically speaking most of them even do not know, their fundamental rights or even when they do know, can not afford to resort to the costly legal battle in the courts. It is true that the rich, well educated, urban, elite obtain their rights more often then the poor, ignorant, oppressed and marginalised.
Compared to the geographical size of the country, number of population, the number of qualified pro people human rights lawyers are much too small. The courts are over burdened & lack of trained staff, proper space, legal texts and equipments. Ongoing cases take up inordinate length of time, as a result of which the common people/ordinary citizen suffers most.
