You have already opined and your opinion is based upon relevant legal provisions of Evidence Act so nothing requires to be added.

Section 58 operates in case of formal admissions i.e admission in the same case. Yours may not be covered by 58. You should see Sections 17 to 23 of the Evidence Act which cover evidentiary admissions. If you have filed certified copies and certified copies are disputed, then you will need to prove certified copy in the manner provided by Act. It is only by means of a formal witness from the copying agency to testify that they are his signatures, seal etc. Better course would have been to call for the original records U/O 16 R. 3.
