Information law is the body of legal principles and regulations governing the collection, storage, dissemination, and use of information, particularly in relation to privacy, data protection, intellectual property, and freedom of information. It encompasses both statutory and common law frameworks that address the rights and responsibilities of individuals and organizations in the digital age.

Key research themes

1. How is the conceptualization and ontology of information addressed in information law frameworks?

This research area investigates foundational questions about the nature of information—whether it is objective or subjective, its truth-constituted status, and its delineation from data and knowledge—and elucidates why these conceptualizations are critical for legal definitions, regulatory applications, and the effective operation of information systems within the scope of information law.

Key finding: This paper posits a theory that information is both objective—existing independently of observers—and veridical—requiring truthfulness to qualify as information. It critically distinguishes information from misinformation and... Read more
Key finding: The study extends logical entropy to information sources, introducing formal mathematical models and bounds for entropy measures pertinent to information theory. These insights enrich the understanding of information... Read more
Key finding: The paper explores the plausibility and consequences of defining information as a sui generis form of property. It argues that treating information as property requires overcoming challenges arising from its non-tangible... Read more

2. What are the legal contours and challenges related to the Right to Information (RTI) and the access to government-held information under international and national law?

This theme focuses on the recognition, evolution, scope, and conflicting dimensions of the Right to Information across public international law and national legislations. It examines how RTI intersects with democracy, transparency, national security, privacy, and accountability, emphasizing the legal mechanisms, limitations, and normative debates shaping access to government information.

Key finding: This article traces the gradual international legal acceptance of the Right to Information (RTI), explaining its justification mainly as an instrumental right to freedom of expression. It articulates the competing interests... Read more
Key finding: Analyzing India’s RTI Act and its 2019 amendments, the paper demonstrates how the law empowered citizens to fight corruption and promote transparency. It critiques recent amendments curtailing the independence of information... Read more
Key finding: This work advances moral and legal arguments for individuals’ rights to control personal information—an essential dimension of the RTI framework. By tying informational privacy to broader rights over personal autonomy and... Read more

3. How do emerging technological paradigms such as data-driven agency, AI, and blockchain challenge and reshape traditional legal frameworks in information law?

This theme investigates the transformative effects of new technological infrastructures—especially artificial intelligence, data mining, and blockchain—on the practice of law, including legal epistemology, jurisprudence, property law, data protection, and regulatory approaches. It highlights the need for legal adaptation in the face of decentralized data, automated agency, and layered information ecosystems.

Key finding: The paper argues that law’s existing grammar, shaped by print and linear text, is inadequate for data-driven agency environments where information and behavior—not meaning and action—are the core units. It proposes that legal... Read more

Key finding: Applying medium theory and ecological holism, this paper reveals how shifting information environments—from oral traditions to digital media—fundamentally shape legal discourse, perception, and institutions. It highlights... Read more
Key finding: The paper addresses the complex challenge of determining applicable law in cross-border personal data infringements stemming from AI systems. It highlights gaps in international data protection instruments and emphasizes the... Read more

4. What legal and ethical tensions arise from the intersection of information law with privacy rights, transparency, and secrecy?

This theme explores the normative controversies where information law intersects with privacy imperatives, governmental transparency, and the issues of secret or obscure law. It investigates the balance between public scrutiny and individual or state confidentiality, focusing on the conceptualization and regulation of secrecy in legal systems and its implications for democratic governance.

Key finding: Beyond defending informational privacy as control over personal data, the paper examines its tension with security interests, arguing that privacy rights should only be limited under strict procedural conditions. This... Read more
Key finding: By emphasizing RTI’s democratic benefits but also its risks to national security and privacy, the article foregrounds the inherent conflicts information law navigates in balancing openness against secrecy, underscoring the... Read more
