पुढील विधानांचा विचार करा : Consider the following statements :
(a)नागरिकांना माहितीचा अधिकार आवश्यक हे प्रथम रियो दि जानेरो समिट मध्ये म्हटले गेले. / "Citizenry has right to know" was for the first time said in the summit at Rio-de Janerio.
(b)भारतातील बऱ्याच न्यायालयांनी वारंवार म्हटले आहे की सामाजिक न्यायासाठी माहितीचा प्रसार आवश्यक आहे. / Many courts in India have reiterated that dissemination of information is an absolute must for attaining social justice. Now state whether.
Statement (a) is incorrect because the 'right to know' concept originated earlier through various jurisdictions and international covenants rather than first being coined at the Rio Summit. Statement (b) is correct as Indian courts have repeatedly emphasized information dissemination for social justice.
