Well, audio tapes are very difficult to get admitted as evidence.
first ITS AUTHENTICITY IS TO BE VERIFIED BY FSL.
Then it has to be matched with voice sample of the party in which she may refuse to give her voice samples.

Evidence Act Dec 65A provides that electronic records may be proved in evidence in accordance with the provision of sec 65B of Evidence act. Information Technology Act Sec (1)(t) also provides that evidence in electronic form may be accepted by court. Leading authority in this matter is the case of Ram Singh vs Col Ram Singh decided by Supreme Court in 1986

Agree with the experts.
For further steps full case file and decision of court need to be referred. If your lawyer guide, may proceed to challenge.

Yes,judge is right.tape for acceptance of tape recorded conversations,tape has to be sealed at the earliest point of time and opened except under order of court . Neither the tape has been produced immediately nor it was sealed so order of court is absolutely right.
