The Central Information Commission (CIC) passed the judgment on Friday while dealing with the case of an applicant — an estranged wife and an alleged victim of domestic violence Ruling that the larger public interest overrides exemption under privacy of an individual, information commissioner M Shridhar Acharyulu said that the public information officer in Delhi Transco could not reject the request for such information if filed by the woman because the protection of privacy is overridden by the huge public interest in the duty of a government official to provide maintenance to his wife and children and not indulge in domestic violence http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/india/Can-access-income-details-of-your-spouse-under-RTI-CIC/articleshow/46151241.cms
beetle Posted February 7, 2015 Posted February 7, 2015 Good... The screws should tighten up for people who think they can have children but not have to bother about them if they end up getting divorced ....or move on to some one else as seems to be the case here.
Crookbond Posted February 7, 2015 Posted February 7, 2015 This is an awesome judgment and filled with foresight. Earlier, the wife's allegations about the husband's money were accepted as true. In the Kusum Sharma vs Mahinder Sharma case, the court examined judgments and international best practices from countries like US, UK and Australia.
