In India, recording a phone conversation without the consent of all parties involved is illegal under the Indian Telegraph Act, 1885, and the Information Technology Act, 2000. However, there are some exceptions, such as when recording is done for lawful purposes like law enforcement or with explicit consent from all parties.

My mother was tragically killed by our domestic worker in Dwarka, Delhi, on 15 July 2016. The worker was 17 years old at the time. The Juvenile Justice Board (JJB) has decided to treat him as a child based on a psychologist’s assessment. The worker has confessed to the crime, which involved stabbing my mother multiple times with a knife, stealing valuables, cleaning the crime scene, and even trying to mislead my father by claiming it was an outsider’s act. The JJB will finalize the punishment on 7 February. Can we challenge their decision to treat him as a child, considering the severity of the crime and his age? Is it worth appealing this in the sessions or high court? I need your advice urgently.
