CIC, New Delhi is the apex body of Information Commission and has been formed as the final Authority of Appeal in providing of Information & documents under the RTI Act, 2005. It has also the power to impose penalty under Section 19 of the RTI Act for non providing, delay in providing of information and for providing of misleading information.
One such case has been decided on dtd 18.12.2012 by Information Commissioner Smt Susma Singh. The facts of the case is that Shri R.K Jain, the renowned publisher of ELT has asked certain information & document under the RTI Act from CESTAT, New Delhi. The Commission found that there was delay of 42 days for which a penalty amount of @Rs 250/- per day total amount of Rs 10,500/- was imposed on Shri Mohinder Singh CPIO & Shri Pramod Kumar, deemed CPIO.
I have also sought information about dropping of Demand cases from the same Tribunal which was denied. Hence, I feel glad to see this Order. The "Right Thinking Indians Association" Raipur, Chhattisgarh hopes this type of orders will go a long way in curbing the ego, authoritarian attitude & the negligence of Govt Officers while dealing with matters relating to Public life.

It is pertinent to mention here that a few years back, Shri Pramod Kumar was the Commissioner of Central Excise, Raipur, Chhattisgarh. My best wishes for Shri R.K Jain who championed the public cause. I hereby upload the 1st two pages of the said decision.
