section 3 of Indian Evidence Act:

Evidence-"Evidence" means and includes--
(1) All statements, which the Court permits or requires to be made before such statements are called oral evidence;
(2) [All documents including electronic records produced for the inspection of the Court]; such documents are called documentary evidence.

Refer: Best Bakery case.

I do agree with Ramesh Sir. The only remedy to challenge it that it is edited or tampered if the party think so.

The amendment in the Indian Evidence Act makes it admissible in evidence.The law has changed termendously in this area. But, yes, as pointed by Arvind, the other party has equal right to challenge it as tempered or to its genuineness etc.

Indian Evidence Act has been amended to include admissibility of evidence of electronic documents consequent to the enactment of Information Technology Act. It is subject to veracity of the cassette.

Indian Evidence Act has undergone tremendous changes after the Best Bakery case whereas any electronic records are admissible as evidences provided the opposite party shall to prove its tamperment or its genuineity.
