Taqdir Vs State of Haryana

Supreme Court

02/03/2022

CRIMINAL APPEAL NO. 1537 OF 2018

About/from the judgment:

Sec 65-A and 65-B, Evidence Act, 1872 copies of electronic evidence are sufficient when duly certified as per S. 65-B

It is true that what was actually played in the Court was the version available from Exs.P86 and P87. But the hard-disk was always part of the record and was available in Court. At no stage, any objection was raised or a request was made that the hard-disk itself be played in the Court. In any case, the requisite certification having accompanied Exs.P86 and P87, the Courts below were not in error in relying upon the CCTV footages available through these sources. [para 18]
