The Oriental Insurance Co. Ltd. vs Jagdish Chandra Srivastava And Others on 24 October, 2019

12.Section 76 of the Evidence Act gives the right to obtain a certified copy of a public document which any person has a right to inspect on payment of fee. A certified copy of the entries made in the public record is required to be issued on payment of fee in Form-54 as laid down by Rule 150(2). Form-54 being a certified copy of a public document, namely, the State Register of Driving Licence, need not be proved by examining a witness. Once a certified copy of the entries made in the register maintained under section 26(1) read with Rule 23 is issued in Form-54 it is admissible in evidence under section 77 of the Evidence Act, and no further proof of Form-54 by oral evidence by examining witnesses is required.
