व्यभिचार के केस में WhatsApp Chat, Photos, Call Record मान्य हैं? Adultery | Advocate Vikas Gupta |

In this exclusive conversation on Legal Reporter, editor Viplava Awasthi speaks with advocate Vikas Gupta on the legal position of adultery in India after the landmark Joseph Shine v. Union of India (2018) judgment, which decriminalized adultery. Vikas Gupta explains that while adultery is no longer a criminal offence, it can still play a significant role in matrimonial disputes, including divorce proceedings, child custody matters, and related family court litigation. He also discusses the sensitive issue of digital evidence in adultery cases, emphasizing that any evidence presented before the court must be authentic, untampered, and lawfully used. The discussion also touches upon privacy concerns in light of the Supreme Court’s Puttaswamy judgment on the right to privacy, and how courts may exercise discretion while deciding the admissibility of such evidence. Since different High Courts have taken varying views, this remains a legal grey area. Watch this detailed legal discussion for insights into adultery law, privacy rights, digital evidence, and family law implications in India. #AdulteryLaw #JosephShine #VikasGupta #LegalReporter #ViplavaAwasthi #SupremeCourt #RightToPrivacy #PuttaswamyJudgment #DigitalEvidence #FamilyLaw #DivorceLaw #ChildCustody #MarriageLaw #IndianLaw #LegalNews #CourtCases #LawExplained #MatrimonialDisputes #LegalInterview #LegalAwareness
