Yes u can use it. and u can summon the Message Register extract of the person who sent u the messages  to your phone to tally with the timing of messages and date.

Yes it can be produced as a valid evidence before court.

Sir,

I took print-out of SMS and initially confronted to Accused about the message. Accused accepted the mobile number but denied having sent those messages. Since we could not mark those SMS messages document thru Accused, I got the SMS print-out authenticated by forensic lab and submitted as evidence/exhibit. However completely missed on 65(B) certificate

Court came to conclusion that complainant did not take court permission to get the forensic report from lab and not as per 65(B) section. These exhibits rejected and not considered for judgement. SC judgement about - non-mandatory of 65(B) certificate for electronic evidence was also not considered by the court. Any suggestion appreciated. Thx.
