Transcription Admissible in High Court
Why Transcription is Admissible in High Court
Electronic papers prepared for a court’s examination are considered documentary evidence under Section 3 of the Indian Evidence Act of 1872. Sections 65A and 65B of the same Act provide for electronic recordkeeping. Call recordings are admissible in court under these provisions. Evidence is crucial for both the prosecution and the defence in a criminal case. Relevant, trustworthy, and non-prejudicial evidence must be presented to a judge or jury. Evidence that fits all of these conditions is admissible.
Conversation monitoring is becoming increasingly widespread as technology advances. People find it difficult to keep up to speed on their rights and the regulations in this area because technology is always changing.
Many people in the ACT who are involved in accidents, job disputes, and other legal difficulties wonder if private chat recordings can be used as evidence in court. Regulators are not always easy to grasp, and remedies are not always obvious.
Transcription recordings are admissible as evidence in High Court, but only with the judge’s consent, and the matter is frequently disputed by the parties. Many say that they should be used sparingly, however they may be admissible as evidence in Children Act hearings if they aid in evaluating a child’s well-being.

Transcription facilitates authenticity
People place a high value on digital technologies. These innovations have ushered in a new era of legal reasoning. Portable devices are quite beneficial for taking notes. In courtrooms, the question of whether these electronic recordings (or voice recordings) are admissible as evidence is frequently questioned. Oral admissions about the contents of electronic records are immaterial until the veracity of the electronic record is called into question. As a result, the key requirement for admission is the legitimacy of any electronic document.
A variety of factors influence its authenticity –
- Whether or not the evidence is pertinent to the circumstances of the case.
- How it is stored.
- How long had the record been stored in such an electronic format, as well as other elements relevant to the authenticity of the electronic record.
According to the IT Act, electronic records include data, a record or data generated, an image or sound stored, received, or given in electronic form, a microfilm, or a computer generated microfiche. As a result, an audio recording is now considered an electronic record, removing the first barrier to its inclusion. Electronic records are occasionally considered as well.
Section 65B of the Indian Evidence Act lays forth the rules for electronic records and their inclusion. The contents of electronic recordings can be proven under Section 65B. As a result, knowing section 65B of the Indian Evidence Act is crucial for determining whether or not a voice recording can be used as evidence in Indian courts.
- All information contained in an electronic record that is recorded or replicated on an optical or magnetic medium created by a computer is assumed to be a document if the following conditions are met.
