As per your legal right under Article 19 of constitution your liberty is curbed and as per Article 21 of constitution your privacy is being infringed.
Now your case can be treated little diffrently if you are into service sector of telecom as the person has to be in a particular localitu and to adhere to the complaints of customer as the residence or in a particular locality. In lrdee ro have a tab during working hours telecom company provides a soft ware where tiu can log in and log out.. Tracking and tracing your personal mobile is illegal and infringemwnt ro right to privacy
1) Yes, by the way of software they can track you're mobile which is purchased on firm name. It may be SIM or MOBILE.
2) You need to cross check with them atleast for 20 times with and without colleagues the tracking reports or your tracker may be your colleagues.
complaint to your manager that it has been found that your personal mobile is being tracked by the company and it is in infringement of your privacy
You mean they are hacking or only tracking your location?
If you feel that your privacy is being invaded you may first ask your firm to stop following you this way, if there's no fruitful result then you adopt legal process by first issuing a legal notice.
it is usually illegal to track the physical location of an adult person through his or her cell phone without his or her consent.
1. It cannot do so. It will be invasion of privacy. Even if the mobile is that of the firm it still has no right to track your location and put you on surveillance.
2. If you collect evidence of being put on surveillance then you may sue the firm through a suit for damages.
Dear Sir,
The law is less clear, on an employer wishes to track employees who use their personal mobile for company business. Such act amounts infringement of personal rights. You may make it as big issue if you do not wish to continue with that company. Smartly get out of the company then get issue a legal notice and get huge compensation. Before that please collect necessary strong evidence.
As I am working for telecom company my manger is tracking my location by pinging my mobile using cell towers not by any app. Sometimes during work hors and sometimes after work hours. What should I do

If you confirm this you ,may better issue a legal notice to the manager for indulging in such illegal activities, wait for his reply, if he accepts the mistake and remains silent then your purpose will be solved
1.Gather evidence of this.
2. Then a suit for damages can be filed.
Change network immediately or you can complaint to higher authority in matter.
the company cannot do this as this is a breach of privacy. therefore give notice to the higher ups in the co. that this is happening which is against the law. you can also file a complaint against them if they persist in such acts.
regards
They cant legally do so as it's invading your privacy
