No, he can not nor the bank is under RTI. Had it been under the RTI, even then he would not have been accessible to others account detail.

The ICICI Bank is not a public authority and as such, RTI Act does not apply to it.

The detail of other person's account cannot be otherwise obtained due to provision contained in section 8(1)(j) of the RTI Act, 2005.

For the N.I. Act case, you may summon a witness from the Bank along with record through the process of the court.

not at all.

ICICI Bank is assigned with Foreign entity legal status and is definitely out of the purview of RTI Act.

If the account details of a person are necessary to decide a 138 of NI act matter, Sure, you may site the Manager of the bank as a witness in the case and summon him and ask to produce the documents pertaining to the case. Convince the court that the production of the documents are necessary for the just decision of the case.

Again, The ICICI bank in India is under the control of Reserve Bank of India and if you want any details of it, you will get it under RTI act. ( not the details of third party personal accounts)
