Allegedly, the respondent-wife visited her parental house 15 days after the marriage, and soon thereafter, her behaviour changed drastically. The wife also misbehaved with the petitioner- husband\u2019s mother and brother. When the wife refused to accompany the husband, he filed a petition under Section <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-0001543765\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">9<\/a> of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-0002726956\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Hindu Marriage Act, 1955<\/a>(\u2018HMA\u2019) for the restitution of conjugal rights.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">Thereafter, the wife filed an application under Section <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-0001519355\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">125<\/a> of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-0002726935\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Criminal Procedure Code, 1973<\/a>, before the Family Court and instituted proceedings under the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-0002829238\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Protection of Women from the Domestic Violence Act, 2005<\/a> (\u2018DV Act\u2019) against her mother-in-law, father-in-law, and brother-in-law. She also lodged a complaint before the Mahila Thana against her in-laws. Subsequently, the husband filed a petition for dissolution of marriage under Section <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-0001543733\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">13(1)(1a)<\/a> of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-0002726956\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">HMA<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">The husband applied (\u2018first application\u2019) to the Senior Superintendent of Police (\u2018SSP\u2019), requesting that the CDR of the wife\u2019s mobile number be provided, on the grounds that he had doubts about her character. A similar application was moved twice in 2023 (\u2018second and third applications\u2019). In the written arguments for the third application, the husband stated that his wife used to talk to her brother-in-law (jija) for long hours. He alleged that there might be an illicit relationship between his wife and her brother-in-law, and therefore, the call detail records were necessary for the adjudication of the case. The Family Court vide the impugned order rejected the said application.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">Hence, the present petition.<\/p>\n<h3>Analysis<\/h3>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">Upon perusal of the divorce petition filed by the husband, the Court noted that it was filed solely on the ground of cruelty. No allegation of adultery was made in the entire petition. For the first time, such an allegation was made in the first application addressed to the SSP, and reiterated in the subsequent applications. The statements of the petitioner and witnesses were recorded by the police authorities, wherein similar allegations were levelled.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">The Court further noted that when the police authorities did not provide the call detail records, the husband moved an application before the Family Court seeking a similar prayer. In the said application, the husband simply sought a direction from the authorities to provide the CDR of his wife\u2019s mobile number without any allegation regarding adultery. The Court stated that the impugned order reflected that the allegations regarding adultery were made for the first time in the written arguments filed by the husband. However, the application for the production of CDR did not disclose the relevancy of CDR in specific terms.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">The Court reiterated that the CDR of a person cannot be summoned by the Courts based on vague allegations or suspicion. In this regard, the Court relied on K.S. Puttaswamy (Privacy-9J.) v. Union of India <a href=\"http:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink\/91Brhvd7\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">(2017) 10 SCC 1<\/a>, wherein the Supreme Court held that privacy includes, at its core, the preservation of personal intimacies, the sanctity of family life, marriage, procreation, the home, and sexual orientation. The Court also relied on People&#8217;s Union for Civil Liberties (PUCL) v. Union of India <a href=\"http:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink\/2E89q2fb\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">(1997) 1 SCC 301<\/a>, wherein it was held that conversations on the telephone are often of an intimate and confidential character. Telephone conversation is an important facet of a man\u2019s private life. <span style=\"font-style: italic;\">Right to privacy would certainly include telephone conversations in the privacy of one\u2019s home or office.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%; font-weight: bold;\">\u201cWhile marital relationships involve shared lives, it does not negate individual privacy rights. Marriage does not grant the husband automatic access to the wife\u2019s private information, communications, and personal belongings.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">Therefore, the Court held that the Family Court rightly rejected the third application made by the husband while reiterating that the right to engage in mobile conversations in the privacy of one\u2019s home or office without interference is protected under the right to privacy. The Court stated that in our Constitution, both husbands and wives had a fundamental right to privacy within their marriage, and this right was protected under Article <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-0001574949\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">21<\/a> of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-0002726967\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Constitution<\/a>. This means neither spouse can arbitrarily infringe upon the other\u2019s personal space, autonomy, and communication.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%; font-weight: bold;\">\u201cThe husband cannot compel the wife to share her passwords of the cellphone or bank account, and such an act would amount to a violation of privacy and potentially, domestic violence. There should be a balance between marital privacy and the need for transparency, and at the same time, trust in the relationship.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">Accordingly, the Court held that allowing the application moved by the husband would lead to a violation of the wife\u2019s right to privacy and the right to life and personal liberty guaranteed under Article <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-0001574949\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">21<\/a> of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-0002726967\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Constitution<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">Thus, the Court rejected the petition, holding that there was no good ground to interfere with the impugned order.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">[<span style=\"font-weight: bold; color: #632423;\">X v.
