I doubt very much whether the exemption under sec 8(1)(j) could be invoked in a case where the information sought for pertains to one's own - that is when the information-seeker asks for some information pertaining to himself! In that case he cannot be blamed for invading into his own privacy. Many times such confusing stand is taken. Sec 8(1)(j) comes into play only when an information-seeker asks for an information concerning a third person and such information is likely to invade the privacy of that third person. I dont think any information can be denied branding that the information sought is in the interest of the seeker and no public interest is involved.
