Recording conversations without consent may be subject to privacy laws

In India, the Information Technology Act, 2000, doesn't explicitly address the recording of conversations. However, the right to privacy is recognized as a fundamental right by the Supreme Court of India. Depending on the circumstances and jurisdiction, recording conversations without consent may infringe upon privacy rights, and legal action could potentially be taken under laws related to privacy, defamation, or other relevant statutes.

In India, the right to privacy is primarily protected under Article 21 of the Constitution, which guarantees the right to life and personal liberty. The Information Technology (Reasonable Security Practices and Procedures and Sensitive Personal Data or Information) Rules, 2011, under the Information Technology Act, 2000, also address the protection of sensitive personal information.

Additionally, Section 43A of the Information Technology Act, 2000, and the associated Information Technology (Reasonable Security Practices and Procedures and Sensitive Personal Data or Information) Rules, 2011, establish requirements for protecting sensitive personal data and prescribe penalties for failure to implement and maintain reasonable security practices.

If you decide to take legal action for the unauthorized recording of conversations, you would generally file a complaint in the appropriate court with jurisdiction over the matter. In India, the jurisdiction would depend on various factors, including where the recording took place, where the parties involved reside, or where the harm is alleged to have occurred.
