No, copies of ledger a/c,duly certified by Notary Public are not admissible in evidence as these copies does not comes under the purview of sec 74 of Evidence Act.Only certified copies of public documents are admissible in evidence.Creditor has to either submit original ledger books or to get copies compared by court.
