Section 2(h) RTI Act | Private Club on Government-Granted Land is 'Public Authority' Due to Substantial State Financing : Karnataka HC

Karnataka High Court holds that Century Club, operating on land granted by the erstwhile Mysuru Maharaja, qualifies as a 'Public Authority' under the RTI Act due to indirect State financing. The ruling expands transparency obligations to private entities benefiting from public resources, setting a precedent for similar cases.
