Brief background - Matrimonial disputes going on between me and my wife (498a, CRPC 125, DV etc.). Inlaws are trying for a hefty maintenance/settlement. FIL is manager in a public sector bank.
Incident - To prove that I have enough money for hefty maintenance, my FIL gave a written request to my Bank (which is a private bank), seeking statement of my savings account, citing reason as "Investigation Purposes". This written request is on the letter head of the public sector bank where my FIL works, and it is signed and stamped by the Chief Manager of the bank. I have a copy of this letter. It is to be noted that I do not owe any money to the bank where my FIL works. Therefore this use of position and power to seek my account statement (which is a confidential and personal information) is just plain wrong and unfair.
I checked with my bank on why they shared my statement, and they said that as per RBI guidelines, one bank can request another bank for statement of any account.
Query - What should I do now? What are my options to get FIL penalized for this wrong? I have given a written complain to RBI (under the Ombudsman scheme), but I am not sure how helpful it will be.
Sincere thanks in advance for helping me.
