It is not that simple since there will be other side to object.

Unless you can show that the XEROX copies are exact copies of the originals the same can not be admitted.

Even if you produce the person who had copied them still the question will arise how the person remembered the contents.

The opponent will always allege that the same are fabricated / doctored , unless you can prove otherwise.

Photostat copy cannot be got exhibited, whatever be the reasons behind it. You can lead secondary evidence as per procedure.
