Which of the following statutes has not been enforced?
(A) The cable Television Network (Regulation) Act, 1995.
(B) The telecom Regulating Authority of India Act, 1997.
(C) The Information and Technology Act, 2000.
(D) The Right to Information Act, 2002.
Correct Ans: (D)
Explanation:
The government enacted the Right to Information Act, 2002 but did not enforce it. Later, it repealed and replaced this Act with the Right to Information Act, 2005, which is currently in force. The 2005 Act strengthened citizens’ right to access information from public authorities and promoted transparency and accountability in governance.
In contrast, authorities enforced the other statutes mentioned—The Cable Television Networks (Regulation) Act, 1995, The Telecom Regulatory Authority of India Act, 1997, and The Information and Technology Act, 2000. These laws continue to operate effectively.
This distinction identifies the Right to Information Act, 2002, as the correct answer.
