The Telangana High Court has issued a significant directive to the State Government, ordering the immediate publication of all Government Orders (GOs), circulars, rules, and notifications on its official website. The court emphasized strict compliance with existing government guidelines regarding public access to official documents.
Justice Surepalli Nanda, presiding over the matter on the Single Bench on Tuesday, underscored that citizens possess an unquestionable right to access government decisions and policies that directly impact public life. The directive aims to ensure transparency in governance and enable citizens to stay informed about official decisions.
The court’s order comes as a crucial step toward enhancing administrative transparency in the state. By mandating the upload of all official documents, the judiciary has reinforced the principle that government functioning should be open and accessible to the public.
The directive covers a wide range of official documents including Government Orders, administrative circulars, statutory rules, and public notifications. These documents contain important information about policy decisions, administrative changes, and regulatory measures that affect the daily lives of citizens across Telangana.
The court made it explicitly clear that the State Government must follow existing guidelines while publishing these documents online. This ensures uniformity and consistency in how information is made available to the public.
