My colleague wants to hire a detective to spy on his wife. This after, he snooped on her email id and got suspicion. I advised him to consult a lawyer as whether snooping email could attract punishment under IT Act. In the past I also have read few things in newspaper that, digital photo or video is considered as foolproof evidence in courts as, it can be tampered with. Since most detectives use only spycam, which is a digital device, I doubt whether it would be accepted. Further, the said device also cannot be submitted in court. I asked him to meet an advocate
Pl let me know whether digital photos submitted without the original device is admissible. Can the wife file complaint against my friend for snooping email or photographing her in public place? Can she file of mental cruelty against him?
