Question 2 of 5
2. Question
1 pointsWith reference to the recent rulings on phone tapping by Indian High Courts, consider the following statements:
- The Madras High Court quashed a phone-tapping order due to the absence of public emergency or safety concerns.
- The Delhi High Court declared that large-scale corruption can justify phone tapping under the “public safety” clause.
- The Supreme Court’s PUCL judgment (1997) held that review by a Parliamentary committee is mandatory for phone tapping.
Which of the statements given above is/are correct?
Correct
Answer: (a)
Explanation:
- Statement 1 is correct: In July 2025, the Madras High Court ruled that a 2011 MHA order for phone tapping (related to a ₹50 lakh bribery case) violated Section 5(2) of the Indian Telegraph Act, 1885, and Article 21 of the Constitution. The court noted that there was no “public emergency” or “public safety” situation justifying surveillance, and the mandatory Review Committee process under Rule 419A was not followed.
- Statement 2 is correct: In contrast, the Delhi High Court (June 2025) upheld the legality of phone tapping in a ₹2,149 crore corruption case, citing that large-scale corruption in public institutions poses a threat to public safety, aligning with the doctrine of proportionality upheld in Puttaswamy (2017).
Statement 3 is incorrect: The PUCL v. Union of India (1997) judgment did not require Parliamentary oversight. Instead, it prescribed an executive Review Committee, comprising senior bureaucrats, to periodically examine interception orders. It set key safeguards like limited duration, necessity, and record-keeping.
