Digital Evidence & 65B Certificates
Digital Evidence and 65B Certificates are essential components of cyber law and electronic evidence in legal proceedings. Digital evidence includes electronic records such as emails, text messages, CCTV footage, social media posts, computer files, call records, and other digital data used to prove facts in a case. Under Section 63 of the Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam, 2023 (which replaced the earlier Section 65B of the Indian Evidence Act, 1872), electronic records must be accompanied by a certificate that verifies the authenticity and integrity of the digital evidence before it can be admitted in court. This certificate confirms that the electronic record was produced from a reliable computer system and has not been altered, ensuring its legal admissibility and credibility during judicial proceedings.
