Summary The Supreme Court held that non-governmental organizations (NGOs) substantially financed by government funds fall within the definition of "public authority" under the Right to Information Act, 2005. The Court interpreted Section 2(h) as containing six categories of public authorities, including NGOs receiving substantial government financing (direct or indirect), and defined "substantial" as material/important financing—not necessarily exceeding 50%—determined contextually. For D.A.V. College institutions receiving 40-44% in grants plus 95% of staff salaries from the government, the Court found them substantially financed public authorities subject to RTI scrutiny, dismissing their appeal while remitting other appeals to the High Court for reconsideration. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
