Recording mobile phone conversation without concerned person’s knowledge violates right to privacy: Chhattisgarh HC

Bilaspur: The Chhattisgarh High Court has ruled that recording the mobile phone conversation of a person without the latter’s knowledge amounts to violation of the right to privacy under Article 21 of the Constitution.

The HC was earlier this month hearing a petition moved by a 38-year-old woman challenging a family court’s order allowing her husband’s application in a maintenance case pending since 2019.

The HC observed that the husband recording his wife’s phone conversation without her knowledge amounts to violation of her right to privacy and also the petitioner’s right guaranteed under Article 21 of the Constitution.
