Service provider would not give you the details

2) details would be provided only to the police if sought for during course of investigations

3)if court directs then service provider would furnish said details

Sorry there is no way you can get this facility.

I doubt if the mobile service provider keeps record of that old tower location.

If it still keeps then also you will not get that information.

Only the investigating agency or the court can ask for that information in connection with investigation or trial of some case.

Do not worry as the burden of proof of allegations lies on prosecution only.

You need not prove your innocence.

You can make application in court to direct service provider to furnish your call records for said date

Yes, this information can be called for only by the Court. So, if the Court orders, the relevant information can be pulled out and not otherwise.

1. Service provider does not keep records such old. Usually the records are retained for only 6 months.

2. Nothing stops you though from filing an application in the court to summon the service provider with records.

I am afraid to say that the companies usually keep hold of the record for a duration of maximum 1-2 years. if however you are pleading the defense of alibi then you may show some alternative prove to that extent.

If you have some legal issues, and if any case is pending before court, you can file a petition in the same case seeking the court to direct the service provider to produce the same before court in order to prove your innocence in the case or to establish your case.

i meant location info from service provider

This information also can be obtained through court.

The service provider may not entertain your request on this for various reasons, hence, if you are very serious about it, then approach through court.

You can file a petition before the same court in the same case seeking its direction to summon the service provider to furnish the desired details/particulars.
