E-mail attachment

Dear Experts,

Does the scanned copy of a document (record of financial transaction) which has been duly signed by the First Party (A) have any value, as admissible evidence in court, for Second Party (B) if he has received it as an attachment in an email sent by Third Party (C)?

Regards,

Kaushik.

Scanned copy is a secondary evidence but as good as primary evidence in the absence of any other good primary evidence, which proves contrary to it. If there is another primary evidence contrary to it, then it loses its value.

I go with Dimple Jindal.

A piece of evidence is not documentary evidence if it is presented for any purpose other than the examination of the contents of the document. It is to be noted that documentary evidence is subject to the best evidence rule, which requires that the original document be produced unless there is a good reason not to do so.
