APMC a public authority

The Bombay High Court has ruled that Agricultural Produce Marketing Committees (APMCs) in Maharashtra are public authorities under the RTI Act 2005.

In the decision, the High Court also observed:

Before parting with the judgment, looking to the increase in number of scams in
the Co-operative Credit Societies, Urban and Other Co-operative banks
due to frauds played by the persons within the Society or the bank
causing severe losses to the poor depositors and since the money of the
depositors is involved in such Societies/banks, it would be far better to
cover all the Co-operative Credit Societies/banks etc. under the RTI Act.
We recommend accordingly to the Central Government.
