Quick Summary

This discussion explores the admissibility of certified copies obtained from court as exhibits in subsequent legal proceedings. Generally, certified copies of public documents, as per Section 74 of the Indian Evidence Act, can be submitted. For non-public documents, it may be necessary to seek a court order to summon the original records. While certified copies are often treated as originals, seeking to summon the original court records is sometimes advisable.

As per sec 74 of Indian Evidence Act only certified copies of public documents can be exhibited in another court.If you want to get exhibited certified copies which are not public documents then you have to seek the order from court to call the original documents from the court which possess.

Well advised by experts Mr. Kavksatyanarayana and Mr. Bhartesh Goyal, I agree.
Certified copy of court record can be exhibit in evidence, however, it will be better to request the Court to summon original court records.
