Hi,
My wife had applied for divorce and got an interim maintainence order and was awarded 15,000/- (10k for her and 5k for child). Later i found that she is working and produced her form26as and made her to submit her salary slip. The high court judge asked me to produce my salary slip as well.. hence i gave another slip from a company where i do part time and i didn't gave my other salary slip where i do the full time job.. Since my fulltime job has salary of 1Lakh. Now she had again put an application in family court to summon my employer (i.e., employer providing fulltime job) to give my salary slip and income tax department for form 16 and Tax returns.
As far as i understand, form 16, salary slip are confidential because i'm not a government employee and RTI act enables for right of privacy and Article 21 of constitution protects individual privacy. I'm of the view that only when she can prove huge public interest the court can allow her petition. Am i right?
Would court would summon my permanent employer and ask him to produce salary slips and form 16?
