This query is : Resolved
I paid certain sum to a CA for some professional work. He did not issue any receipt. Later on work was not satisfactorily done by him so I withdrew assignment. In a phone taping he admitted to acknnowlege the money and agreed to refund. But the CA is not making the refund . Whether acknowledgement of money without any documentary evidence but in secret phone recording is legal and valid. Whether secret phone recording without consent of other party is crime in any way. Can we use such phone recording as evidence in civil or criminal case.
