The petition filed accused the Centre of having misled the apex court in April by saying it had complied with its December 2019 order to fill all the posts

RTI activist Anjali Bharadwaj on Monday applied to the Supreme Court for an “urgent” hearing of a petition that seeks the immediate filling of all the vacancies at the Central Information Commission, where six of the 11 posts are currently unoccupied.

The vacant posts include that of the chief information commissioner, the application underscored, adding that the commission faced a backlog of over 36,000 complaints and appeals filed under the Right to Information Act.

It accused the Centre of not just deliberately failing to fill the vacancies but of having misled the apex court in April by saying it had complied with its December 2019 order to fill all the vacant posts. It alleged that some of the vacancies had persisted for the past two years.

The application for urgent hearing, filed through advocate Prashant Bhushan, is expected to be heard only next week after the Dussehra vacation ends on October 25.

“With the retirement of the chief (information commissioner) on 26.8.2020 and another commissioner demitting office (at) the end of September, 2020, currently 6 posts... are lying vacant and the pendency of appeals/ complaints has risen to over 36,600,” the application said.
