Ladies Club comes under RTI.

The Hindu: Bangalore: Wednesday, Feb 25, 2015.
Karnataka Information Commission (KIC) has declared the iconic Ladies Club on Infantry Road as a public authority and brought it under the purview of Right to Information Act, 2005.
The order was issued in a case filed by S Umapathi, an RTI activist. In its order, KIC has stated that as the government has leased out prime land at throwaway prices with a rent as low as Rs 10 per month, it constitutes the government making a significant contribution to the organisation and, hence, it comes under the purview of RTI Act, 2005.
