The Right to Information (RTI) is primarily a legal right conferred on the citizens of India by the Right to Information Act, 2005. This Act provides the statutory framework and procedures for citizens to access information held by public authorities. While the Supreme Court has interpreted the right to information as implicit in fundamental rights like Article 19(1)(a) and Article 21, the enforceability and mechanisms are established by the statute, making it a legal right.
