Supreme Court Allows Court-Ordered Access to Call and Hotel Records in Divorce CasesPreviousNext

The Supreme Court upheld a Delhi High Court order allowing a wife to access her husband's call detail records and hotel booking details to support adultery allegations in divorce proceedings. The court emphasized that such disclosures require judicial approval and must balance privacy rights with the need for fair trial evidence. Telecom operators cannot release call records without court orders, and hotel records can be summoned only through legal processes. The ruling clarifies privacy limits in matrimonial disputes.
