Sir I filed 5 Nos. 2nd appeal to state Commr and pending over one yr. Still i couldn't get information from 3 department PIOs. I need it as doc evidence to produce in a court. All are tender related. Can i file writ petition against RTI Commn including 3 PIOs as respondents in HC to furnish info quick? TQ.

As Your appeals have not been decided within the stipulated time by the appellate authority so you have every right to approach further appellate authority as per provisions of RTI act and failing which you may approach to high court.

1. You can file WP in HC, seeking directions to SIC, to dispose of your pending applications, within a Court directed given time-frame. That's it .... Nothing Further.
2. Via WP, you can seek directions from HC to the SIC, to hear & finalize "ALL" Appeal /Complaint matter's, within a statutory time limit, which will be as an absolute rule. (It is a far-fetched desire of ALL RTI activists).

Dear Sir,
Yes, you can file a mandatory direction writ petition for earlier disposal of your petitions by the concerned authorities.

Direction under section 482 Criminal Procedure Code is very easy to be obtained against any authority not performing its job as per law.

You can move to High Court for a writ of mandamus under Article 226 / 227 of the Constitution of India, 1950 through a local prudent lawyer.

There is no time limit for the Appellate Authority to decide an appeal under Section 19 of the Right to Information Act, 2005

You may have to first exhaust the remedies available before you to approach the next appellate authority in this regard.
After that you may approach high court with a writ petition seeking the desired relief as per law.
