This query is : Resolved
My client has only a xerox copy of a particular document, which he wants to rely on, in the Writ Petition. The Advocate needs to certify each annexure as `True Copy' while filing the Writ Petition.
Can the Advocate certify as `true copy' relying on the xerox copy.
What does the `true copy' exactly mean? Is it that the annexure is a true copy of the document, which the petitioner is in possession? or that it is the true copy of the original? Please clarify.

Why are you so bothered about this issue?
It is a technical issue and leave it to your advocate only. Concentrate on merit of your case not on these petty issues.

One should not verify a document as true copy till he compares it with the original.
A copy is a true transcript of an original writing.
A certified copy is a copy (often a photocopy) of a primary document, that has on it an endorsement or certificate that it is a true copy of the primary document. It does not certify that the primary document is genuine, only that it is a true copy of the primary document.
True copy: copy of legal document attested by notary, an exact copy of a legal document, as declared before a notary public
