Whether trial court should rely on print out of order upload

Whether trial court should rely on print out of order uploaded on official website of high court?

 
 Learned   counsel   for   the   applicant   has   expressed   an
apprehension that the order of this Court dated 20.12.2017 as well
as   this   order,   would   be   available   on   the   official   website   of   the
Bombay High Court and there is a possibility that since it would not
be a certified copy of the order, the trial Court may insist upon
producing a certified copy. 
2. I am of the view that this apprehension is misplaced since the
print out of the orders of this Court from the official website has
sanctity and the trial Courts are expected to consider the said orders,
if they are cited after taking a print out from the official website.
The said orders are also available before the trial Court from the
official website and there can be a counter verification to find out
 
whether such an order is actually uploaded to the official website or
not. In this backdrop, there is no harm if such a print out from the
official website is placed before this Court.
3. It is informed by the learned Advocates that, in several cases
before various trial Courts, the learned Judges insist on production
of   the   certified   copy   of   the   order   and   they   are   not   inclined   to
consider the print out of an order from the official website of the
Bombay High Court, as being a reliable document. As observed in
the foregoing paragraphs, in the event of any doubt in the mind of
the learned Judge, it can be checked from the official website of the
Bombay High Court as to whether such an order has been uploaded
or not? Once the order is uploaded on the official website, it is a
reliable document to be considered by the Court before whom it is
cited.

But it should not be solely dependent on such orders available on official sites of court. Even there is a disclaimer to this effect on such official sites.
