Since tape-records are prone to tampering, time, place and accuracy of recording must be proved by a competent witness
In Yusufalli Esmail Nagree Vs. State of Maharashtra5, this Court observed that since the tape-records are prone to tampering, the time, place and accuracy of the recording must be proved by a competent witness. It is necessary that such evidence must be received with caution. The Court must be satisfied, beyond reasonable doubt that the record has not been tampered with.
