Chhattisgarh High Court Invalidates Phone Tapping Evidence but Allows Corruption Case to Proceed
The Chhattisgarh High Court ruled that the Ministry of Home Affairs cannot retrospectively authorise phone tapping, invalidating intercepted calls used in a 2025 corruption case involving medical college inspections. While the court struck down the interception evidence due to lack of proper authorisation, it allowed the FIR and prosecution to continue. The case centers on alleged bribery, ghost faculty, and biometric tampering, with the government and CBI denying any interception before the official authorisation date.
