In the matter between Shri S.K. Jain, New Delhi V/s Delhi Transco Chief CIC Deepak Sandhu has awarded the applicant compensation for nine months delay in receiving the information. The order reads as "For the detriment and harassment caused to the appellant on account of this delay, Commission directs the public authority namely DTL to pay compensation of Rs. 3000/– to the appellant within one week of receipt of the order."

Full decision at this link

http://www.rti.india.gov.in/cic_decisions/CIC_DS_A_2013_001281_T_121988.pdf

However, while going through the link, it is observed that the CIC has observed "Shri KG Vishwanathan, Manager (Finance)/PIO and Shri Vasu Dev, Manager (HRD)/PIO who appeared before the Commission in the same matter on 24 October 2013 and provided false and misleading information to the Commission". The decision further continues "This has wasted the time and resources of the public authority and the Commission and they are warned to be more careful in future."

It appears that the CIC has spared the CPIO from penalty for nine months delay, filing false reply before the Commission and wasting the time of the CIC. As such, the Delhi HC ruling comes into play = Penalty is mandatory.
