well primary evidence is always admissible in evidence if relevant.

in ur case u ll have to prove the cd is authentic, court ll have to c the cd does not contain interfered material.

u can click few photographs too to show ur possession cause its easy to prove them with the help of negatives to be produced in court in original.

The new amnedment section 3 of the evidence act speak about "The contents of electronic records" and the new section 22A speak about relevance of oral admission as to contents of electronic records in certain circumstances.See also the amnedment of section 59,65,65A and 65B of the Evidence act.
