CCTV Evidence Admissibility Standards in Criminal Cases

Analysis and Conclusion

CCTV footage is a valuable piece of electronic evidence in criminal cases but must adhere to the standards set by Section 65B of the Indian Evidence Act. Proper certification, collection, and preservation are critical for admissibility. Courts require corroboration of electronic evidence to ensure reliability, and any procedural lapses can lead to exclusion of such evidence. Overall, the admissibility hinges on strict compliance with legal standards to prevent tampering and ensure evidentiary integrity.
