I invite the attention of Ld. experts to the ongoing thread of discussions ignited by Mr. Assumi in the Forum Section [Criminal Law] related to Section 65-B of Evidence Act and the status of photocopies and scanned copies. Very interesting discussion going on, so please participate with your views.
For ready reference, the query posted by Mr. Assumi was: "What is the difference between photocopy and scanning in the context of electronic records within the meaning of Section 65B of the Evidence Act? Does both falls within the meaning of Section 65B?"

Photocopies are never inadmissible in evidence. It is the primary proof if admitted in the cross examination and secondary proof in other conditions if the conditions of section 66.
