No because no oath is administered in 313.

No. The documents cannot be exhibited while getting the statement under section 313 of Cr. P. C. recorded. However, if the accused does not want to himself examine in the defence evidence, he may prove the documents by summoning some other witnesses if the documents are of such nature that they can be proved by the witnesses.
