A man in Tamil Nadu has filed 97 RTI applications to determine if his former college girlfriend is still single after their breakup.
A resident of Tamil Nadu has made headlines for filing an unusual series of Right to Information (RTI) applications. The man, who recently broke up with his college girlfriend, has submitted 97 separate RTI pleas to various authorities.
The primary objective behind these applications is to ascertain whether his former partner is currently single or in a relationship. By invoking the RTI Act, the individual is seeking official records or information that might reveal her marital or relationship status.
This move has raised questions about the misuse of transparency laws for personal inquiries. While RTI is a powerful tool for citizens to access government records, its application in such private matters is considered unconventional and legally contentious.
Authorities have yet to issue a public statement regarding the specific nature of the information sought in these 97 applications. The case highlights the growing trend of using legal mechanisms for personal grievances rather than public accountability.
