It is common experience that appeals and complaints lodged with Central Information Commission/State Information Commissions [CIC/SICs]are inordinately delayed, as there is no time limit fixed for them to decide, unlike PIO and FAA under RTI Act 2005. There are time limits for applicants also.
Right to Information is a fundamental right under article 19.1.a of Constitution of India and RTI Act 2005 is procedural law to operationalise fundamental right.
Unreasonable delay on the part of CIC/SICs amounts to negation of this right, since delayed information becomes useless for citizens. Under the Constitution, no one has authority to interfere or negate fundamental right of citizen, except by due process of law. Thus CIC/SICs are routinely committing bluntant breach of citizens’ fundamental right guaranteed under article 19.1.a, without any process of law, by inordinately delaying decisions and their timely compliance.
Governments also indulge in clandestinely creating such conditions so that decisions are delayed at CIC/SICs; say by under staffing [including ICs] , selecting inefficient ICs and other staff, not providing infrastructure for efficient working of Commissions etc. This is done to frustrate citizens against using RTI Act.
To improve upon the situation, is it possible to file a PIL against Govt. of India, State Govts, CIC and various SICs in Supreme Court of India? Our learned members may cogitate upon this idea and comment.

Respected experts,
I am residing in first floor flat in the above mentioned co-operative housing society. There is a leakage in my flat from the bathroom and bedroom of Mrs. Renuka Gosavi who is staying above my flat, her flat no. is 203. Due to leakage the water is slowly seeping in my ceiling and has already damaged my my walls. There is fear of electric short circuit taking place any time in my bathroom which evident from the way my switch board is hanging down. Also the filthy bathroom water is causing a bad stink in our house which has endangered our health.
I have repeatedly asked Mrs. Renuka Gosavi to carry out repairs and plug the leakage. She is ignoring it since last three weeks. This week when I again went to her flat to complain and remind her of the leakage from her flat she asked me to pay off her society dues, which is clearly an attempt to extort money from me. And when I refused to give her any money she approached me in a threatening manner so as to assault me.
Later when I returned back to my flat she came down to my house and again criminally intimidated me to cause more leakage and again threatened my by saying that I will have to face dire consequences if I again complain of the leakage from her flat or inform the police about the same. All these actions of Mrs. Renuka Gosavi was supported by the secretary of our society Mr. Ketan Shah and his wife Mrs. Illaxi Shah, who have a grudge towards us as we have been consistently objecting the overcharging of society maintenance.
Iwould request you please guide me as to the proper legal course. Would police complaint be enough ?

I've a case filed against a person under the captioned section. The same i pending hearing before a division bench at the High Court. However, since three years the status on the Internet has not been changed from single bench to division bench and also the dates as per the site do not come on the board for hearing. My lawyer says there's nothing we can do but wait for the case to come on board. Is there any possibility of a mischief by the other party in collusion with the High Court staff and is there a way to expidite the process?
