CIC has just delivered this landmark judgment ruling that Political parties should come under the ambit of RTI. Political parties have long resisted opening themselves to public scrutiny. People have long been demanding that there should be complete transparency in their financial and internal functioning. Various commissions including Law Commission report, Election Commission and NCRCW have already recommended that political parties should demonstrate transparency through various measures. CIC should be immensely complimented for passing this landmark judgement to enable the citizens of India so that they can access information about the Political Parties for which they vote for.

Full bench comprising of Chief Information Commission Shri. Satyananda Mishra, Information Commissioners Shri. M.L. Sharma and Smt. Annapurna Dixit while passing judgement in the complaint filed by Association of Democratic Reforms (ADR) and Subhash Chandra Aggarwal, the hearing for which took place on 26th September 2012 and 1st November 2012, has commented the following-

“.. we hold that INC, BJP, CPI(M), CPIO, NCP and BSP have been substantially financed by the Central Government under section 2(h)(ii) of the RTI Act. The criticality of the role being played by these Political Parties in our democratic set up and the nature of duties performed by them also point towards their public character, bringing them in the ambit of section 2(h). The constitutional and legal provisions discussed herein above also point towards their character as public authorities. The order of the Single Bench of this Commission in Complaint No. CIC/MISC/2009/0001 and CIC/MISC/2009/0002 is hereby set aside and it is held that AICC/INC, BJP, CPI(M), CPI, NCP and BSP are public authorities under section 2(h) of the RTI Act.”
