The Supreme Court has held that the requirement of a
certificate to make electronic evidence admissible is not mandatory. The top
court’s clarification on section 65B of Indian Evidence Act, which deals with
admissibility of electronic evidence in court proceedings, will have an impact
on criminal trials, where an increasing number of call details records, CCTV
footage, mobile video recordings and CDs are being relied upon. According to Section
65(B) of Indian Evidence Act says that electronic records need to be certified
by a person occupying a responsible official position for being admissible as
evidence in any court proceedings.
