Unilateral password change of jointly used email

Dear esteemed members, an email id was used by two spouses and password was with both of them.. when matrimonial dispute started one spouse unilaterally changed the password to the exclusion/eviction of other.. the other spouse was not even informed .. there are chances that such spouse would have altered/deleted emails from that email account 

what criminal action can be taken under IPC and Info. Tech. Act

thanks

The fault is your side...Any divorce petition filed before court? if then you file petition regarding this issue in the court and also lodge complaint to police.(cyber )

thankyou for the replies

could you please quote the section numbers of IPC & Info Tech Act to impress upon authorities .. as the police may try to ignore this complaint as it involves two spouses

For complaint to police no need to mention the sections.

1. Mere unilateral "Change of Password" by any of the Joint-Account Holders, is NOT a Criminal Offence or any type of other offences.  Hence no complaint is maintainable and neither any authority or judge would entertain any such frilivious grievances /complaints.

in view of the quoted reply .. considering the typical facts of the situation, the aggrieved party has no solution..? other party can do whatever he/she wants with the email id and even with the old emails without any consequences..? some of these old emails may be relevant or useful as evidence in the matrimonial dispute between the parties .. ! I think there would be some remedy for this

1. YES .... there can be a solution PROVIDED the email belonged to you (eg. RKSHAH@gmail.com).

2. In above case, you can claim that Wife hacked into your email account with malafide intent and caused you physical, mental & financial distress /losses.

3. You can file Police FIR, requesting investigation and charge-sheet, for offences like cheating, intimidation, fraud, breach of trust etc.... and u/s 43 /66 of the I.T,Act, against the Wife, supported with all relevant supporting Documents & Witnesses.

4.  IF the Police does not take action, THEN you can file private criminal case u/s 156(3) Cr.P.C., in the local Magistrates court, seeking directions to the Police to investigate and file charge sheet.

email id was used by two spouses and password was with both of them 

can it be looked at from the point of view of joint ownership and then one party taking a unilateral action for misappropriation of the half belonging to second party .. or something similar

1. No point in fruitless arguing.  It uses up constructive time, even if it means receiving free advises /suggestions.

2. Email account is NOT construed as belonging to TWO persons and neither can two different passwords be used for one email account.  There is NOTHING called as "joint email account" and neither it is a "joint savings bank account".

3. One Email Account = One Person = One Password.

4. ONLY apathtic "emotional & sentimental fools" allow somebody else to use their own private email accounts by somebody else (including spouses, children/s or whosoever .... )
