A.Hi,
If the departments are transferring your application for nefarious gains, it is advisable for you to approach the court against the same. You can a write of mandamus in the HC to make the court order them to provide you with the necessary information.

A.Hi,
The Information Commission can impose a penalty of Rs 250 per day. The total penalty cannot exceed Rs 25,000. Section 20(1) of the Central Act states that "Public Information Officers" can be penalised.
In case you find that they are dodging your application under RTI, you can file a suit for the same.
