Constitution Club is public authority under RTI Act rules CIC
NEW DELHI . The Central Information Commission (CIC) has held that the Constitution Club of India (Club) at New Delhi is a public authority under the Right to Information Act, 2005 (RTI Act). The Club will now be answerable to queries under the RTI Act.
The ruling came following an RTI application filed by activist Subhash Chandra Agarwal seeking information about the Constitution Club. Advocate Prashant Bhushan appeared for Agarwal.
Among other things, Agarwal had sought information about whether the Club was receiving funds from the pubic exchequer, as well as details regarding the ownership of the properties, lands and other assets used by the Club. The RTI activist had not received any information from Central Public Information Officer of the Club prompting him to approach the CIC.
