C.P. No. 3506/2020 5 Article 19A is therefore not limited to the access to information from public bodies as envisaged under the Right to Access of Information Act, 2017 but also includes media content disseminated to the public as an integral part of “information.” So in the public space, the freedom of expression of one becomes the right to information of another. While one has the freedom to express oneself, the other has the right to have access and receive such information.

It is essential for the healthy functioning of a democratic society to encourage exchange of ideas, fosters debate and allow for the development of diverse opinions and perspectives. 8. facts "Information", on the other hand, generally refers to data, or knowledge that have been organized, processed, and communicated in various formats to help people understand or make decisions about a particular topic or issue.

Having "access to information", typically refers to the ability of individuals or groups to find, obtain and use information effectively and efficiently. This helps build a more informed, inclusive, cultured and a tolerant society. 9.
