yes it can be ..it is a primary evidence now.

provided the person who is responsible for recording the same should be prove its reliability and genuinness including that of the instrument thru which it is recorded. Google indiankanoon for case laws.

If the authenticity and credibility of the evidence which produced in the original form has been established before the court, in the event of reliability, the court may accept the evidence and decide the case on merits.
