The mentioned documents are not public documents and thus are required to be proved.

Your understanding is proper principally.

I think otherwise, any documents created or originated out of a public activity or in discharge of public functions are classified as public documents. now in above context, these are public documents and hence its contents are disclosable to public at large.

Two conflicting views from 2 experts.

In my view, the contents of these documents need to be proved before the court.

Let's wait for the comments from other experts too.

If you obtained the copies through PIO, then make him a witness to assert the authenticity of the documents.
