such document can not be obtained under RTI Act, however the party to the suit may get the certified copy of it.

photocopy cannot form part of exhibited documents so its copy can also be not obtained.

Documents received under RTI Act can be produced before court in the evidence.

Definitely. Only issuing authority can prove/exhibit its document in evidence before the Court, apart from if the witness did not turn up to give evidence in the Court despite service of summons, the Court shall compel the said witness for his appearance under order 16 rule 10 of Civil Procedure Code.
