Can Husband open bank locker of wife using RTI?


CIC refused attempt by husband to get hold of information about his wife’s locker. Earlier the Public Information Officer (PIO) and First Appellate Authority (FAA) has denied the information citing section 8(1)(d), (e) and (j) of the RTI Act, as he is the third party.

The appellant referred to his RTI application of 02.05.2012 and stated that he is seeking information regarding the operation of his wife’s locker. The appellant stated that he has strained relations with his wife. The appellant stated that he wanted to know on what dates and how many times, the locker was operated by his wife during a certain period. The appellant stated that he also wants statement of savings bank account and details of fixed deposits till date.
The approach of the respondent bank was in conformity with the RTI Act and CIC upheld the decision of FAA.
