Central information commission asks income tax department to give man generic details of wife’s income

The Central Information Commission (CIC) has ordered the Income Tax Department to provide a man with the “generic details of the net taxable income or gross income” of his wife in a maintenance case. The man had filed a second appeal seeking income-related details of his estranged wife to support his case. The CIC referred to a previous case where the disclosure of gross income was allowed to the estranged wife, and directed the CPIO to provide the generic details requested by the appellant.
