Dear Experts,
I have a 304B case against me. The chargesheet was filed in Feb 2015 (incident occurred in Sep 14) and so far the trial has not even started. I had preserved my phone which had smses from my late wife and wanted to use it as evidence against all the lies in the chargesheet. To my bad luck, it got stolen from my house by people who had come to paint my house. I went to the Police and was able to recover the phone instrument but since the phone was reset, all the messages are now gone. I tried to do data recovery from the instrument and also tried to take download from i-cloud back-up but the messages were simply not there.
I feel so bad. I had take pictures of those smses in my phone and now, I have only those pictures. How can I present these images to the court as valid evidences? Is there any certification agency that can help me. My lawyer is clueless on this and unfortunately some other advocates who I spoke to did not provide any useful ideas.
Please help.
Vas
