A properly certified photocopy is admissible in court only :
Answer: A
A certified photocopy is admissible if the original is lost, stolen or destroyed and not available.
Documents are proved by primary evidence, the original itself. Under Sections 63 and 65 of the Indian Evidence Act, a copy (secondary evidence) may be given when the original has been destroyed or lost, or cannot be produced for reasons not due to the party offering it, among other listed cases.
A prosecutor's assurance, the judge having seen the original, or a copy tendered on oath are not grounds for admitting secondary evidence under the Act.
