Delhi High Court Upholds NSE as Public Authority Under RTI Act
The Delhi High Court has upheld a 2010 ruling that the National Stock Exchange (NSE) qualifies as a public authority under the Right to Information (RTI) Act. Despite NSE's argument that it is a private entity incorporated under the Companies Act, the court found that its recognition as a stock exchange and government control make it subject to transparency laws. This decision requires NSE to disclose information under the RTI Act, affirming its accountability to the public.
