In a latest ruling, the Central Information Commission has directed a Central Public Information officer to provide a man with the “Generic details of the net taxable income/ gross income” of his wife for the specified time period as seeks in the RTI Application.

In the case title i.e. Yash Malhotra vs CPIO, the appellant filed an RTI application for seeking the Gross/ Net income of his wife. The CPIO furnished a reply and stated that since such records have already been produced before the Civil Court during pendency of maintenance case; therefore, seeking such information through RTI Act 2005,channel won’t serve any public interest, as such.
