If the sender and receiver can be identified the same will get evidentiary value.

Agree with the learned members. Identity of receiver and sender must be established in order to consider a SMS as valid evidence.

The SMS being a digital evidence can be treated as an evidence provided the identity of the receiver and sender is established.

I FULLY AGREE WITH MR. PANDEY IN SAYING THAT DATE, TIME  SHOULD BE DETERMINED IF STATUS IS  RECEIVED FROM THE SERVICE PROVIDER. UNLESS THE PRESUMPTION IS REBUTTED, IT IS DEEMED TO HAVE BEEN SENT BY THE REGISTERED MOBILE USER. BURDEN  IS ON THE REGISTERED MOBILE USER TO IF HE WANTS TO DISPUTE THE MESSAGING BY SMS

of course it is an evidence, however, the credibility of sms as an evidence increases with identification of sender and reciever as such as well as its time of delivery. the mobile phone holder can however take a defence that the sms was sent by some one else when he was not holding the phone, so its case to case basis

remarks and views welcome
