New Delhi. Recently, in a divorce case, the Madhya Pradesh High Court ruled that the wife’s private WhatsApp chat can be presented as evidence under Section 14 of the Family Court Act, 1984, even if it is obtained without her permission. In this case, the husband accessed his private WhatsApp chat by installing a special app (possibly a detective app) on his wife’s phone and found that he was in a extramarital affair. The husband’s lawyers decided to present it as evidence in the court and demand a divorce on the basis of cruelty and adultery.
The wife’s lawyers challenged the move and opposed the presenting of her WhatsApp chat in the court, arguing that this action of the husband violates her right to privacy under Article 21 of the Indian Constitution and Section 43, 66 and 72 of the Information Technology Act. The Madhya Pradesh High Court rejected this argument and said that even though the right to privacy is recognized as a fundamental right, it is not complete and it has exceptions and limits.
1. Keep an eye on battery consumption: If the battery of your phone is suddenly ending rapidly, then it may be an indication that a detective app is running in the background.
3. Check unknown apps: See the list of apps installed in your phone. If you see any app that you have not installed, then remove it immediately.
5. Strange message or notification: If you are getting strange messages or notifications, then it may also be an indication that your phone has a detective app install. By using these methods, you can detect the detective app in your phone and keep your privacy safe.
