Abstract
National Telecom Policy 2011, expected by the end of the year, is likely to include issues pertaining to licensing, spectrum allocation, tariffs/pricing, linkage with roll-out obligations, and flexibility within licenses, spectrum sharing, spectrum trading, as well as mergers and acquisitions. However it is still to be seen whether NTP ’11 includes regulations regarding phone-tapping, which has taken an ugly turn with the recent events in the Amar Singh case and the Ratan Tata case. News International phone-hacking scandal, where News of the World, a British tabloid newspaper, was accused of engaging in phone hacking in pursuit of publishing stories, exposes an appalling outcome of unregulated phone-tapping. This paper, thus, aims at examining the constitutionality of phone-tapping and the role of judiciary in curbing invasion of individual’s privacy rights while carrying out a comparative analysis of the existing provisions in India, with those of United States of America and Canada.
