The malafide intention is proved by the circumstances that the bill is niether passed nor any reply given against it.

Any how, it is within department, and first department has to inititate such disciplinary proceeding and several things have to be looked into, as it was just a procedural lapse, and whether reminders or personal follow up was neglected etc.  Sometimes in pressure of work, a document may miss the attention, but it need not be a corruption and a mistake or at the most negligence.  It is the dept., and laid down procedures that must decide on facts.

If the concerned officer does not inform you what happened with your bill and refuse to provide such information even after the orders of CIC, WILL it not come under section 7?

Any relief under RTI is only as per stipulations under RTI Act.  It is in between IC and PIO and the appellant is in no way concerned with those proceedings.  The Act stipulates information only as a right to citizen.

There is no harm in making a complaint to ACB, as such wifull delays amount to corruption.
