Tata may move SC against leakage of Radia tapes

New Delhi, Novmeber 29: Critical of the “unauthorised” release of tapes of his conversation with PR consultant Niira Radia, the USD 73 billion Tata group chief Ratan Tata may move the Supreme Court tomorrow to seek action against those behind the leakage.

Tata may invoke Article 32 of the Constitution, claiming that his Right to Life, which includes right to privacy, has been breached by the leakage of these tapes.

Under Article 32, any person who feels that his fundamental rights are violated can straightaway move the highest court of the country seeking redressal of the grievance.

The petition, where Union of India is sought to be made a respondent, seeks that responsibilities be fixed on who leaked the tapes — recorded by the Income Tax authorities in 2008 and 2009 — that were meant for investigation
