4) telecom service providers dont maintain voice call record data of subscribers.

Dear Querist

My opinion on your queries are as under:

(1) whether this (snapshots of the old chats) is admissible in the court of law after such a long gap as a valid evidence of mental cruelty. I have no recent direct evidences. Can I file domestic violence case on charge of mental cruelty?

Opinion: All digital evidence can be accepted by court as per section 65B of Indian Evidence Act, but you have to issue a certificate regarding the same as per compliance of section 65B of IEA.

You can not file any domestic violence case against her because the domestic violence case can be filed by women only.

(2) May I approach to the court to get an order to reveal the mobile call data record of her mobile for last two years (SIM no. is in her name) for the Reliance Communications no. she is using? Is it easier to get through such a court order for CDR or any private detective can access it easily? How can I get a recorded conversation of her voice calls from the MSP for the past two years?

Opinion: No, you can not file this type of case but if there is any case pending before the court then you may file an application u/s 91 of Cr.P.C. r/w section 106 of indian Evidence Act to produce that mails/chat.

there is no procedure for getting voice calls recording because the server of the service provider is not authorized to save the voice calls recording.

(3) May I be charged of doing a cybercrime for accessing my wife's mail account by her password thereby opening from a different device (not her own device) without her knowledge/consent? Does it come under breach of privacy even if I am her husband? Can she sue against me?

Opinion: It may be but she will not be proved before the court that you don't know her email password because it is common that husband and wife know the password of the email of each other due to love and affections.

Hi, you can file a petition for divorce on the ground of mental cruelty and not on the ground of adultery. you can summon her boyfriend but it has no use to you and he will not tell the truth before the court and he can deny your allegations.

2. She can't sue you for breach of trust you may defend it by accidentally you have access the her mail account.

3. You can get the call details and mobile chats of 6 months but it is very difficulty to get through legal channel you can heir detective agency and they will help to get the details of chat records.

however these snapshots are admissible in evidence but they are not sufficient to prove it. there must be some corroborative evidence in its support.

You can't claim divorce on the ground of adultery because there is no sexual intercourse between them so no offence is made out.

you should settle this matter amicably because it might be possible that someone hacked her account but it may be easily proved. don't involve court kachahri and police authority. litigation should be last option.

Dear

how was the behavior of your wife towards you. Is she behave more lovingly ,give proper care ?Do you have any other issues in your married life with her , if so you take it as serious. Trust is an important thing is a married life. The deeds of your wife (if your version is true) is not admissible one.Definitely it will made much worry on the life of a good husband.

Even though it is not a good admissible proof ,you will approach a good private detective agency and check her future movements through face book ,whats app ,face book,messenger,yahoo chat,immo,skype.If she has an affiar she will contact her alleged boy friend again and you all collecting evidence for your divorce petition.

The better suggestion is , After getting more evidence you should take a decision about Divorce . The present evidence she denied and explain the circumstances of denial. So when you approach the court try to show the mental cruelty this evidence does not help you. You will wait for more evidence and silently watch her deeds.

1. Simple chat records of old flame can not be used as sufficient evidence to call off the marriage. You shall have to collect evidence of their being physical after staying married with you,

2. The Court will not accept your prayer for directing the telephone service provider to provide her call details based on your submission. Simple call details will not be adequate for filing divorce suit,

3. If your wife lodges a police complaint against you for illegally hacking in to her email account, then you will be in serious trouble as per I.T. Act.

1. It is very difficult to prove adultery or cruelty based on old chat records. It can back fire with the question about your accessing your wife's email account,

2. Yes, your wife can sue you as per Information Technology Act as mentioned in my earlier post,

3. For collecting evidence, you can not commit offence which you have done,

4. Calling some one is not an offence and CDR will prove nothing against your wife. Court also will not pass such order as proposed to be prayed by you,

5. Service provider will not pass on such personal records to any one including private detectives with out court order.

(1) whether this (snapshots of the old chats) is admissible in the court of law after such a long gap as a valid evidence of mental cruelty. I have no recent direct evidences. Can I file domestic violence case on charge of mental cruelty?

The evidences in your possession are not admissible in law This is not sufficient to prove her adulterous way of life or to prov he extra marital relationship with some other guy even if you file a divorce case against her on this grounds. Further domestic violence case is for women and not for men, the very name suggests it: The Protection of women from Domestic violence Act.

(2) May I approach to the court to get an order to reveal the mobile call data record of her mobile for last two years (SIM no. is in her name) for the Reliance Communications no. she is using? Is it easier to get through such a court order for CDR or any private detective can access it easily? How can I get a recorded conversation of her voice calls from the MSP for the past two years?

Legally it is not possible to obtain them, you may contact private detective agencies who would be willing to help you on this.

3) May I be charged of doing a cybercrime for accessing my wife's mail account by her password thereby opening from a different device (not her own device) without her knowledge/consent? Does it come under breach of privacy even if I am her husband? Can she sue against me?

she has got rights to sue you for cyber crimes f hacking her mail, interfering into her privacy without her consent etc.

.

(1) I am sorry to say that the chats were some erotic/love affair kind of. I have no recent such evidence of their act. Can I file divorce on mental cruelty/adultery? Can her ex-boyfriend be summoned to court to testify?

If you have some clinching evidences to prove her adulterous life then you may implead that person (her paramour) also as a respondent in the divorce case filed against her on the grounds of adultery otherwise you ca file divorce on mental cruelty alone in which you can include such events in the pleadings.

(2) Can my wife sue against me for breach of her privacy even if I am her husband on the ground of accessing her mail account without knowledge?

Yes she can very well go ahead, she has got rights for her privacy and can take anyone into task is found to have invaded into her privacy.

(3) I am confused that if it is illegal as it is a breach of her privacy to access her mail chats using her password without her knowledge/consent then how those chats can be regarded as evidence in the court of law?

Who said such things can be taken as evidence in court, you have to prove your allegations properly and not by producing any such fabricate documents, because court will consider them as fabricate documents only.

(4) When voice call records are not retrievable, then Is it possible to get a court order to reveal the call data record (CDR) of her mobile for last two years (postpaid SIM no. is in her name) for the Reliance Communications no. she is using?

You may file a petition before curt to send for the records from the concerned authority which are vital to your case.

(5) Is it easier to get through such a court order for CDR or any private detective agency can access it easily?

Private detective agency will b able to it easily and not court.

1. Any conversation through any medium of social networking which hints towards an extra-marital affair can be used in the court to prove adultery as a ground of divorce.

2. Service providers do not store the actual content of chat or a telephonic conversation except on a court order. So this will be futile.

3. You can also launch a criminal prosecution for adultery against her boyfriend.

4. To unearth evidence of a wrongdoing committed by your wife you broke into her account. This is your defence to a criminal charge of hacking her account and also a lawsuit for damages which she may file.

5. The call records can always be obtained through a court order. The court will order the service provider to furnish the call records if you are able to show the legal necessity to get so.
