Madras HC strikes down MHA's order on phone tapping; calls it 'violation of the right to privacy'
CHENNAI: The Madras High Court has ruled that tapping of phones of individuals in a covert operation to detect crimes amounts to violation of the right to privacy, which is an integral part of the fundamental right to life guaranteed under Article 21 of the Constitution. However, the court said tapping can be done on the occurrence of a public emergency or in the interest of public safety as per the law. Justice N Anand Venkatesh delivered the ruling on Wednesday, allowing a 2018 petition filed by P. Kishore, Managing Director of Everron Education Limited, a Chennai-based company. The petition challenged a Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) order dated August 8, 2011, which had authorised the tapping of his mobile phone in connection with a case involving the alleged bribing of an Income Tax (I-T) officer to evade taxes. The MHA issued the authorisation under Section 5 (2) of the Telegraph Act, 1885, and Rule 419-A of the Telegraph Rules, 1951. "Telephone tapping constitutes a violation of the right to privacy unless justified by a procedure established by law. Section 5(2) of the Act authorises interception of telephones on the occurrence of a public emergency or in the interests of public safety. Both these contingencies are not secretive conditions or situations,' the court observed.

Elderly woman duped of ₹1.15 crore by cyber fraudsters over six years
A 70-year-old woman from central Mumbai lost about ₹1.15 crore to cyber scamsters, who posed as Income Tax (I-T) officials, over six years, police said on Wednesday (July 2, 2025). The incident came to light on Monday (July 1) after the septuagenarian, a resident of the Worli area, filed a complaint with the Dadar police. The victim first received a call in May 2019 from a woman who claimed to be an I-T official and told her that the department wanted to return her deceased husband's money, the police said. The complainant was asked to clear 'pending' taxes and various penalties accrued against her husband's name to get back his money, the official said. Believing the caller, the woman started depositing money into the accounts provided by the fraudsters, he said. Over six years, the complainant shelled out over ₹1.15 crore in 50 transactions, but never received any money from the 'I-T Department', he said. The woman recently shared the episode with her relatives, who told her that she was being conned by cybercriminals and urged her to approach the police. Based on her complaint, the Dadar police have registered a case against unidentified fraudsters and launched a probe, the official added.
