unless you establish the public interest the bank will deny these informations as this concerns to the personal information. And you shall also to establish that the required informations are necessary to defend your case in which you are falsely implicated. the bank will deny these if they found themselves at a wrong foot, but could be possible in the second appeal

There is no way to get this information from the bank unless you prove some public interest in it. You can declare these fact in the court who has the power to get this information from the bank.

From what I understand, a 498-A is lodged against you by your mother-in-law mentioning some FD in your name. If you have a copy of where she has made this claim (Court / Police etc) to an official body, you should directly approach the Bank openly (or through advocate) demanding to know if the statement is true or if your signature etc was forged. A depositor can NOMINATE another without that person's knowledge or consent.

RTI Act is not meant to be misused like you are trying to do. To take out 1 FD detail; should the Bank be burdened with providing you details of lakhs of FDs.
