Section 63(4) BSA | Certificate from Original Device Custodian Mandatory for Electronic Evidence Admissibility: Himachal Pradesh HC

Himachal Pradesh High Court rules that under Section 63(4) of the Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam, a certificate from the custodian of the original electronic device-not the opposing party-is essential for admitting secondary electronic evidence. Non-compliance renders the evidence inadmissible, reinforcing strict procedural compliance in digital evidence submission.
