Yes, it is, as per the IEA itself.

However the contents would need to be verified by the officer who gave this information.

Production of documents and marking the documents by the court, does not make the documents admissible, and further steps under the IEA has to be complied with for it's admissibility.

Agree with Mr. Makkad.

It have to be proved. Should stand cross examination, if its contents need so.

It is public document hence no formal proof is required but opposite party has right to rebut it and to prove it wrong.
