• Request for Hold on ongoing court proceedings in a Sessions court

In a trial court for a fraud case, during PW1 examination only selective evidences (Exhibits P1 to P5) of total 12 nos are marked by the Judge in presence of PP. Next proceedings will be the cross examination.

As other filed evidences (excluded) are also important, can the High Court be approached for a Hold on the proceedings for fair trial noting that accused A1 got convicted by District court in another fraud case earlier after trial court initially acquitted him.

1. The documents even if brought to the notice to court may not be exhibited if the same s unfit for formal proof.

2. In other words only primary evidence and in certain cases secondary evidences can be marked as exhbit in court. All documents filed in court may not be exhibited if the same is not fit for formal proof.

3. Hence without knowing the nature of those documents I can not say whether you have got merit in the event you file revision in sessions or high court on refusal of the trial court to mark documents as exhibits.

Did the pp plead before the trial court to admit these docs..if yes then the trial court should have given cogent reasons for not admitting them as evidence. If it has then that can be challenged. And if it has not given any reasons then too.

Section 65(B) of Indian Evidence Act says that electronic records needs to be certified by a person occupying a responsible official position for being admissible as evidence in any court proceedings.

 

2) said that if a person is not in a position to produce such certificate the provision of 65B should not be applied

 

3) requirement of certificate under Section 65B(4) is not always mandatory,

 

4) appeal can be filed against order before HC
