I have a divorce case, now arguments will start next month.


12-Mar-2024 (In Divorce Law)
I have placed the 2 audio recordings before the court as evidence under IEA 1872, the recordings contain voice of myself, my father, my wife, her mother and her brother. My wife has said to authenticate the recordings through FSL. I want to do Specimen Voice Sample also of my wife, her mother, her brother. If all the 3 deny to give voice samples. I can request the court to direct them to give voice samples. These 2 recordings are most important evidences of my case. Can it be ordered?

Hello, I have perused your query. In this situation-
The Apex Court has observed that electronically recorded conversation is admissible in evidence, if the conversation is relevant to the matter in issue and the voice is identified and the accuracy of the recorded conversation is proved by eliminating the possibility of erasure, addition or manipulation. 
Further, Hon'ble Supreme Court observed that transcript of a tape-recorded conversation can be used by a witness to refresh his memory under Section 159 of the Evidence Act and their contents can be brought on record by direct oral evidence in the manner prescribed by Section 160 of the Evidence Act.

For any further information feel free to reach out to me
