π‘ Answer:
Great question β and a common one in both personal disputes and corporate litigation. Hereβs the law, served with a spicy legal twist πΆοΈπ:
β
In India, call recording is legal if you are one of the participants in the conversation.
β However, recording a call between two other people without being part of it is a BIG no-no. Thatβs illegal surveillance. π«π΅οΈββοΈ
So yes, if youβre on the call, you can record it β even without informing the other party!
But can you use it in court? π― Yes, BUT...
βοΈ The call must be relevant and unedited
βοΈ You must prove authenticity and chain of custody
βοΈ Best presented with a Section 65B Certificate (Electronic Evidence Rules)
βοΈ Judges will weigh it for context, legality, and fairness

π When Call Recordings Work in Court:
β
Admissions of fault, fraud or threat
β
Breach of verbal agreements
β
Harassment or abuse calls
β
Verbal contract confirmations
BUT: If you present a call thatβs been tampered with, cut halfway, or lacks context β you might end up in legal soup. π₯£π¨ββοΈ

π§ Pro Tip:
βοΈ Use call recording responsibly β never as a weapon of entrapment
βοΈ Store recordings securely and mention the date, time & purpose
βοΈ For sensitive matters, always consult a legal expert before using it in a court case
βοΈ Always combine call recordings with other supporting documentation (emails, messages, contracts)
Recording a call? Sure. Admitting it in court? Thatβs a legal chess game. βοΈ
