High Court on Wednesday upheld that the National Stock Exchange (NSE) is a public authority under the RTI Act.
The judgment was announcement by a two judge bench in response to NSE challenging the 2010 order.
In 2010, the HC held that stock exchanges are public authorities and, hence, are bound to disclose information under Right To Information Act.
At that time also, the NSE and Jaipur Stock Exchange had submitted that they cannot be forced to reveal information to public under the transparency law as they are autonomous bodies incorporated under thee Company Act and not controlled by the government.
