Bank has breached into my privacy and defamed my name

(Querist) 08 February 2012 This query is : Resolved 
Bank has breached into my privacy and defamed my name
Sir,
I am writing without revaling my identity and will appreciate if suitable advise may be forwarded
I am residing in Delhi and has sought general information from leading Nationalised bank in year May 2010 under the provions of RTI in regards to freezing and defreezing of Account. My queries were very general in nature without affecting the rights of third party. The CPIO declined to provide information as result I filed an Appeal and second appeal before the Central Information Commission
The hearing was conducted on June 2011 and CIC has issued notices to the CPIO for imposing the penalty and ordered him to file ist submission in this regard. Meanwhile the CPIO and other notorious officials had committed conspiracy with my relatives and obtained letters from them that I am sought Information because I want to withdraw money from their account. These letters were not forwarded to CIC but was in the posseion of the Bank
In year Sept 2011, the bank has imposed penalty on one of the official for Rs 25000/- and the CPIO has challenged the order before the High Court of Delhi and annexed those letters before the Court and had made allegations I sought information that my intention was too withdraw money from their account. The High Court finds no merits in their Writ and dismissed the same in December 2011
I shocked to learn how CPIO has acquired those letters ? and How my information has been transmitted to my relatives? I concluded that some of the notirous officials including CPIO had committed conspiracy aginst me in defaming my name and made intrusion into my privacy
I made complaint to Chairman in January 2012 and I agin shocked to learn that I received reply from the same branch advising me to addressed RTI Applications to their branch. I surprised to learn that bank has treated my Complaint Application under RTI and again surprised to learn that I have not sought information in my complaint but the bank persistently treating my complaint as RTI. I send another reminder to the chairman

From the above I have conclude that many of the bank perosnlles are involved in breach into my privacy and defaming my name and their persistent arrogant reply clearly signifies that some impartial enquiry needs to be conducted and fix the liability on the guilty perosnnels
In that case what will be the suitable remedy against their wrong ful acts. I am grateful if the learned members showed me the right Direction

I do not see much illegalities in the acts of the Bank.
You are absolutely silent about the veracity of claim of the Bank regarding your actual intention.
The Bank has shown further bona fide in treating your complaint as RTI application giving more credence to your letter.

You better pursue your original complaint in disregard of latest developments.

I asked on general queries for information and its not the part of the bank to check the persoanl details of the Applicant why he is sought information..Suppose if I sought information how to regsiter the land in my name or any query ..is it right that authority cahrged me that I am seeking information that i want to grab the land of neighbour..Moreover its under the prosvions of the RTI act that applicant need not have to give reasons for seeking the information for what purpose he is using
