Electronic or digital record
AI Assist
Summary
Electronic and digital records cannot be excluded from evidence merely because they are electronic. When they meet the proof requirements in section 63, they are admissible and carry the same legal effect, validity and enforceability as any other document.
Example
Priya emails a signed PDF contract to a supplier and later sues for breach. The emailed document can be admitted in evidence and, if it meets the proof conditions in section 63, will have the same legal effect and enforceability as a paper contract.
Bare Act
Enacted textNothing in this Adhiniyam shall apply to deny the admissibility of an electronic or digital record in the evidence on the ground that it is an electronic or digital record and such record shall, subject to section 63, have the same legal effect, validity and enforceability as other document.
