Electronic Evidence and Regulatory Compliance under Section 63 of the Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam, 2023: Challenges and Practices in CBI Investigations

Electronic Evidence and Regulatory Compliance

The Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam or the BSA is a change in India’s law of evidence. This law came into force on July 1 2024. The BSA is very important for the Central Bureau of Investigation or the CBI. The CBI uses records from places like the Airports Authority of India or the AAI. To understand the BSA we need to know about secondary evidence. Primary evidence is the document. Secondary evidence is a copy of the document. The BSA says that documents must be proved by evidence unless there are special circumstances.

There are some situations where secondary evidence is allowed. For example, if the original document is with the party and they do not produce it secondary evidence can be used. If the original document is lost or destroyed secondary evidence can also be used.

The BSA also talks about evidence. Electronic evidence is any record. This can include emails, messages and other digital documents. For evidence to be admissible in court it must meet certain conditions. The computer or device that stored the information must have been used regularly. The information must have been fed into the device regularly. The device must have been working properly.

The BSA also requires a certificate for evidence. This certificate must be signed by two people: an officer and an expert. The certificate must say what the electronic record is, what device it was stored on and that all the conditions for admissibility are met. The CBI needs to follow these rules when they are investigating a case. They need to get a certificate for any evidence they want to use in court. They also need to make sure that the electronic evidence is handled properly. It is not tampered with.

The BSA is very important for the CBI and for authorities. They need to comply with the BSA or the electronic evidence they collect may not be admissible in court. The BSA helps to make sure that electronic evidence is genuine and has not been tampered with.
