Section 88 of Indian Evidence Act-Fax copy-admissibility in Criminal Court.

Querist : Anonymous (Querist) 26 April 2011 This query is : Resolved
Sirs,
Section 88 of Indian Evidence Act presumes that a telegraphic message is delivered. I request you to enlighten me about the Fax copy. Whether both ends to the tranmission of Fax copy have to be proved for the purported fax as admissible evidence, when the accused is contesting the same in a criminal case?
There are sections in the Evidence Act with regard to electronic records, but silent on fax transmissions. Please clarify.
Thank You Sirs.

Don't you think that a fax copy is also a electronic and computer generated record, as envisaged under Sec 3, 65 A, 65 B, and 88 ?
