Yeah. Go on. It is a criminal offense to record somebody without their prior consent. You slander somebody and then take offense at reverse slander and wants investigation. Shut your pie hole and don't waste tax dollars and authorities time.
There are two situations:
1) if atleast one party has given consent, recording is legal
2) if none have given consent then the court usually weighs the privacy issues agaisnt the public interest and if the public interest outweighs the other, then its legal
Therefore, while the other party can always claim that their privary rights were violated. The chances of such claims being accepted are less as there is no law that exclusively bars recording of conversations either.
Under Section 65B of Indian Evidence Act, recorded conversations are admissible as evidence.
