Wedding Card Through Email

Hi sir, one of my friends sent his marriage wedding card (personal card) through an email attachment. Here, my question is: can we consider an email wedding card as a legal document for further necessary actions?

Yes, Email Proofs are legally valid in Courts. Please refer to section 65B of the Indian Evidence Act, 1872.

65B. Admissibility of electronic records -

65B. Admissibility of electronic records.- (1) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Act, any information contained in an electronic record which is printed on paper, stored, recorded, or copied in optical or magnetic media produced by a computer (hereinafter referred to as the computer output) shall also be deemed to be a document if the conditions mentioned in this section are satisfied in relation to the information and computer in question. It shall be admissible in any proceedings, without further proof or production of the original, as evidence of any contents of the original or of any fact stated therein of which direct evidence would be admissible.

Dear V. Harikrishnan,

Thank you for your input. I have clearly mentioned that electronic records like emails/data, etc., can be taken as secondary evidence and not as primary evidence. Certain conditions need to be fulfilled to consider electronic records as evidence.

Mr. Prashant B. Ingawale has simply copied and pasted the act without delving into the necessary subjects required to accept electronic records as evidence. I would like to request all members to study the subject before providing their input.

Regards,
Kamal
