Quick Summary

This discussion explores the admissibility of notary-certified copies of debtor ledger accounts as evidence in various court proceedings, including Section 138 NI Act cases and civil recovery suits. The consensus is that such copies are generally not admissible on their own, as they are not considered certified public documents under the Evidence Act. Creditors typically need to present the original ledger books or have court-verified comparisons of the copies.

No, copies of ledger a/c,duly certified by Notary Public are not admissible in evidence as these copies does not comes under the purview of sec 74 of Evidence Act.Only certified copies of public documents are admissible in evidence.Creditor has to either submit original ledger books or to get copies compared by court.
