Rti act applicable on trust ?

This query is : Resolved 

14 April 2013 Whether RTI Act is applicable for Public Charitable Trust which is not substantially financed by any government. Is there any decision taken or case law on the same issue ?

14 April 2013 In a recent judgement, the State Information Commissioner Vijay Kuvalekar has said that Trusts or institutions that are not directly substantially funded by the government, but still indirectly receive funds to run schools, courses, colleges, come under the Right to Information (RTI), Act.

Kuvalekar, in his judgement said that indirectly, since the parent institute is getting the funds for institutes run by them, the RTI is applicable.

28 May 2013 Yes RTI is applicable as the trusts are run and governed by the Public Funds and by name these are Public Charitable Trust. Therefore, every citizen of India has the right of Information. The expert has rightly given the elaborate reply referring the case.
