HI,

My lawyer friend learnt today during his interaction with an A.C.P of Crime Branch that his mobile was being monitored;

My query is;

1) Aren't lawyers covered under client privilge.
2) Can police track/tap our calls to get to a client.
3) What should be the approach to stop this pratice of policemen.

Pls advice....

You, yourself are not engaged in any crime, Compliant to local bar association and State Bar Council and and Bar council of India.

If the tapping is unofficial and not supported by specific order by the competent authority,it is illegal. You can proceed legally. Bar councils cannot do anything in the matter excepting to support you morally in your protest.It amounts to interference and infringement of your fundamental right under Art.19(1)(g).
