Email as evidence

S. Fernandes (Querist) 01 October 2014 This query is : Resolved
Please advise me how to use an email as evidence in court.

I mean, will a simple printout be accepted by the court, how to certify it as a true copy or a true/authentic printout of the original mail???

Thanks

E-mail is a recognized electronic evidence and can be admitted in court. Evidence and admitting the same in court are two different thing.Engage a lawyer to assist you in admitting the e-mail evidence.

Section 65A states that the contents of electronic records may be proved in evidence by the parties in accordance with the provisions of Section 65B. Going further, Section 65B, sub clause 1 states that on the fulfillment of certain conditions any information contained in an electronic record shall be deemed to be a document and shall be admissible in evidence without further proof or production of the originals.

you have to state on affidavit that you were authorized to use the computer terminals Further, the computer terminals used by me were functioning normally at all times. Further, since I was personally involved in the transaction, I in fact personally authored/saw the email correspondence exchanged between the parties
