Dear Sir : In response to your query :
1. The answer is no. All the Information Commissioners are at par with the Chief, so their orders can only be challenged in the respective High Courts . 2. As in No.1 above 3. Orders of ICs/Chief ICs are to be challenged in the respective State High Courts only . 4. I am not aware of this . 5. High Courts have all the powers as they usually have in other acts . Trust this is helpful .
