File the appeal to the first appellate authority within next 30 days of your application and penalty can be imposed @Rs. 250/- per day from the date of default till the actual delivery of demanded information subject to maximum Rs. 25,000/- along-with initiation of departmental action and bad entry in service book if information otherwise is not restricted by law itself.

You can file appeal before the higher authority and the second appeal is before the State Information Commission

as per the act,there is no provision for criminal action against the officer.

every officer,i.e pio/cpio are supposed to provide the avilable information with them except certain information exempted under the act.
