For the First Time in India,
Cyber Evidence can be Archived !!!
After
the passage of the Information Technology Act-2000 (ITA-2000),
Electronic Documents
have come to be recognized as equivalent to
written documents for the purpose of law.
Similarly, Digital Signatures affixed as per the provisions of the
ITA-2000 will be considered equivalent to written signatures.
The Indian Evidence Act has also been suitably amended by the
ITA-2000 to provide for presentation of evidences of Electronic
Documents either in the electronic form itself or as certified print
outs.
It is therefore envisaged that Electronic Documents such as E-Mails
and Web Pages will be potential evidences to prove contracts
by any party to a contract.
...But,
What is the ground situation?
