The present writ petition has been instituted seeking a direction to respondent No.6 to decide the petitioner’s second appeal (Annexure P-6), preferred under the Right to Information Act, 2005, within a fixed time frame. 2. A perusal of the writ petition, along with the interim order(s) passed by respondent No.6, indicates that the proceedings in the second appeal are progressing in the normal course and at an appropriate pace. Moreover, this Court is neither apprised of the docket position of respondent No.6- State Information Commission, nor does it find any cogent ground to disturb the seniority of pending matters or to direct an out-of-turn hearing of the petitioner’s second appeal. If this Court begins to encourage such writ petitions, individuals like the petitioner may take the route of Constitutional Courts to have their cases listed and heard out- of-turn, which may have a cascading effect on the regular functioning of DEVINDER YADAV 2026.03.10 17:39 I attest to the accuracy and authenticity of this order/judgment CWP-6963-2026 2 the State Information Commission. 3.

However, liberty is granted to the petitioner to approach the respondent No.6 for expeditious adjudication of his second appeal.
