My wife has accused my family and me of dowry harassment, filing a case similar to a 498A and 507. However, I have audio recordings of her and her family planning to falsely accuse us. These recordings were made automatically by her phone using a call recording app and shared with me via WhatsApp. Can I present these recordings as evidence in court? Will the court take action against them based on this evidence?

Indian law generally prohibits recording conversations without consent, making these recordings inadmissible in court. However, if you can prove your wife’s phone settings allowed automatic call recording, the court may consider them as evidence. Whether the court will take action against them based on this evidence depends on the specific details of the case and the strength of your other evidence.
