Versus State Information Commissioner & others … Respondents Mr. A.V. Pundir, learned counsel for the petitioner. Mr. Vipul Sharma, learned counsel for the respondent nos. 1 & 2. 10th April, 2009 Hon’ble Sudhanshu Dhulia, J. By means of the present writ petition, the petitioner has challenged the order of a public information authority dated 7.10.2008 (Annexure No. 3 to the writ petition) directing the petitioner to furnish the information to respondent no. 3. The petitioner intends that it is not a public authority governed under Section 2-h of Right to Information Act, 2005 as it is not an instrumentality of the State nor is it substantially funded in any manner by the Government or nor does it have any control by the State authority. Be that as it may, the petitioner has an alternative remedy under Section 18 of the Right to Information Act, 2005 to approach the State Information Commissioner. Therefore, the writ petition is dismissed on the ground of alternative remedy. No order as to costs. (Sudhanshu Dhulia, J.) 10.4.2009 Avneet 2 3
