Which of the following is/are not within the jurisdiction of Right to Information Act ?
(1) The Supreme Court of India
(2) Rajiv Gandhi Foundation
(3) President of India
Answer and explanation
Correct answer C
A "public authority" under section 2(h) of the Right to Information Act, 2005 includes any body "established or constituted by or under the Constitution" and bodies owned, controlled or substantially financed by the Government. The Supreme Court and the President's Secretariat are therefore covered.
The Rajiv Gandhi Foundation is a private charitable foundation, not set up by or under any law and not shown to be substantially financed by the Government, so it falls outside the Act.
