76. On 26/12/2022, PW-24-Ravi obtained hash value of the hard- disk Exh.209 and issued certificate in respect of obtaining hash value and 65-B, Exh.210 and 211, respectively.

Judgment 40 CONF-2-2024-F.odt

77. PW-25 then sent all the mobiles, reference photographs of the accused and photographs of suicide notes to Chemical Analyzer with letter Exh.116. She received invoice Exh.117 and challan Exh.118 from NPC Suresh. On 02/01/2023, she sent original suicide notes with specimen natural handwriting of the victim girl to Handwriting Expert as per letter Exh.199, report of which is at Exh.203 and C.A. Report is at Exh.185.

98. Moreover, neither at the time of seizure nor before extraction was any hash value of the photographs computed. Computation and matching of hash values is a recognised forensic safeguard to verify integrity and authenticity of electronic data. The hash value of the photographs should have been ascertained at the very first stage when Judgment 48 CONF-2-2024-F.odt PW-21 extracted the photographs from the mobile phone of the accused on the instructions of PW-25. In the absence of such verification, the originality and authenticity of the photographs remain doubtful, and the possibility of alteration, deletion, or manipulation cannot be ruled out.
