Punjab and Haryana High Court Stays Order Declaring Chandigarh Golf Club a Public Authority
The Punjab and Haryana High Court has stayed a single-judge order that declared the Chandigarh Golf Club a 'public authority' under the Right to Information Act, 2005. The division bench cited two main grounds for the original ruling: subsidized rent and government nominees on the club's board. The club's counsel argued it now pays market-rate rent and that government presence on the board does not amount to majority control. The court has adjourned the matter for final arguments on October 14.
