Photo copy of letter available and same required to prove handwriting. Can this photo copy be accepted as evidence in court for forensic test of handwriting and signature

Guest (Expert) 01 July 2017
Again, whether the original was LOST or DESTROYED?
How old is the letter/photocopy?
What bearing does the letter have in the case?
In whose custody was the photocopy?

NO! The court ought NOT to accept the photocopy. Also, the counsel for the other side shall vehemently object to the photocopy.

Photocopies not acceptable till originals are available.

Sorry due to net problem repeated.

It shall be better to post full facts/details of the matter.

It shall be appropriate to get proper legal opinion from a very able local senior counsel of unshakable repute and integrity specializing in such matters/concerned field of law.

But the person who received original letter gave photo copy and presently he does not have but recognize the photo copy of the same letter and on the letter he admits his signature

Guest (Expert) 01 July 2017
Refer to Rajendra Goyal-ji's answer.
What he has said is cent per cent true from the legal standpoint.

Advocate Suneel Moudgil (Expert) 02 July 2017
it is better to state complete facts as in some cases photocopies accepted but share your concern with the case.

Kumar Doab (Expert) 02 July 2017
Your own counsel might have produced the said document in court.
The signatory is admitting the signature.
It may help you.

Kumar Doab (Expert) 02 July 2017
I have sent you some links. Relate and discuss with your counsel.

I heard that u/s 65 evidence act photo copy is accepted as secondary evidence

Guest (Expert) 02 July 2017
Yeah! That's right S.65 (c) speaks about it. But what does it say? If you think and feel that the requirements mentioned therein are met, go ahead and take that plea....

Kumar Doab (Expert) 03 July 2017
Go ahead if the provisions of the Act are satisfied.

inderjeet (Querist) 03 July 2017
