No breach of privacy in spousal call recordings for Court: SC
NEW DELHI [Maha Media]: The Supreme Court on Monday held that secretly recorded conversations of spouses are admissible as evidence in matrimonial cases, saying the fact that spouses are snooping on each other is proof the marriage is not going strong and hence can be used in judicial proceedings.
A bench comprising Justice B V Nagarathna and Satish Chandra Sharma set aside a verdict of the Punjab and Haryana High Court in a case. The high court had held that the secret conversations between spouses are protected under Section 122 of the Evidence Act and cannot be used in judicial proceedings.
Setting aside the high court order, the bench restored the trial court order and said recorded conversations can be taken note of during the matrimonial proceedings.
