News broadcasting standards authority

(Querist) 23 October 2011 This query is : Resolved 
Dear learned experts
Pls clarify in the below matter for which I shall be ever thankful to you.

News Broadcasting standards authority is functioning to monitor the standards of the news and news channels. Certain channels are members of said NBSA.
Whether it is established as per the norms of Ministry of Information & Broadcasting or not?
If it so Right To Information act 2005 will apply to this authority ?
Who is the appellate authority over the decision of NBSA and how it can be challenged?
Can a Petitioner of NBSA sought information under RTI from the NBSA. If the said NBSA rejects what is the next step

As per the information act, the public authorities are obliged to furnish information to applications under the RTI.The NBSA is not a public authority and not controlled by the informaiton and broadcasting ministry.

In fact, in the name of the News Broadcasting Standards Authority, it is an association of news broadcasters. However, the NBA has its own process of complaint redewssal system. For your complete guidance you can download the guide from the following link:
