Admissibility of evidence

Sir/Madam,

My cousin brother has been falsely implicated under sections 498a and 406 by his wife. In the fir she has alleged that she brought a fridge in her dowry at the time of her marriage. But the truth is that the fridge was bought by the father of my cousin brother about 3 months after the marriage and the bill of the fridge was also in his name.The problem is that they have misplaced the original purchase bill of the fridge. Although they got a photocopy of the the bill from the dealers receipt book (carbon copy of the original bill).The dealer has maintained his receipt book and is ready to produce the receipt book in the court if the need arises. Now my question to you is - whether the photocopy of the dealers copy of the bill will be admissible in the court as evidence? Is there something that my cousin and his father need to do to make this copy admissible? Kindly provide some useful insight into the matter.

Regards.

Hi

you can use that bill i.e. receipt book as secondary evidence in case you can not produce the original one and while producing the duplicate mention the reason for not producing the original one. Further it would be on safer side to examine the shop keeper from where you have pruchased that fridge. No need to worry for that.
