SC : Govt's deliberative process itself need to open up to sunlight of public scrutiny.

Supreme Court said thus:-

"A society which adopts openness as a value of overcharging significance not only permits its citizens a wide range of freedom of expression, it also goes further in actually opening up the deliberative process of the Government itself to the sunlight of public scrutiny."
