122. In Soumen Kumar Pal v. Central Bureau of Investigation. 2023 CRI. L.J. 4161, a contention similar to that raised on behalf of the defence was made. Hon'ble Calcutta High Court has held in para 31 of ______________________________________________________________________ SHELENDER MALIK MALIK Date:
2025.12.24 15:30:35 +0530 judgment observed that Senior Scientific Officer, (HOD), Computer Forensic Division, CFSL New Delhi, PW15 in his cross-examination mentioned the absence of a hash value certificate of the voice recording which were tested. But, in his report, he has clearly stated that the Micro SD Card was original. High Court held in Para 36 of judgment that though defence has raised contention that the electronic evidence relied on was not duly certified under Section 65 B of the Evidence Act but after going through all the relevant facts and evidences adduced I can come to an authentic conclusion that, in the present matter we are not dealing with any secondary copy of the original piece of evidence as the original Micro SD Card is the primary document and it has been duly identified and authenticated by sufficient supporting evidence and report by the competent authority (Forensic Expert, CFSL New Delhi) (PW15). Hon'ble Apex Court in matters of similar nomenclature has clarified that if an electronic record as such is used as primary evidence under Section 62 of the Evidence Act, the same is admissible in evidence, without compliance of the conditions prescribed in Section 65B of the Indian Evidence Act.
