Telephone call recording -- is it an evidence in a court of law ?

Good morning friends

I am a senior citizen residing in Chennai.

Last year, my son (36 years old) was admitted in a wellness centre located in Delhi owing to alcohol relapse.

During his stay there, he was subjected to physical abuse.

We came to know this during a telephone conversation with my son in the presence of a wellness centre staff. When my son mentioned that he was subjected to physical abuse, the staff did not refute. The staff defended his action by blaming my son that he was bothering them owing to craving.

In the subsequent two days, my son had passed away on the way to a hospital owing to an emergency medical condition which was possibly triggered by the physical abuse.

My question is: Is a call recording admitted in a court of law as a valid evidence ?

Thank you

T.V.Pillai
