When Are Call Recordings Admissible in Court? 🎙️
Under Section 65B of the Indian Evidence Act, 1872, a phone recording is valid evidence if:
✔️ It is recorded legally (i.e., no hacking or third-party intrusion). ✅
✔️ The conversation is relevant to the case (e.g., business fraud, threats, contracts). 📞
✔️ It is not edited or tampered with. 🔍
✔️ A Section 65B Certificate authenticates it. 📝
💡 Example: Your business partner agrees on a deal over a phone call, then denies it later. If the recording is clear and legally obtained, you can submit it in court!
