- Facebook Video & Section 65B Certificate - Main points and insights:
- The requirement of producing a Section 65B(4) certificate for electronic evidence such as videos or tweets is a significant procedural necessity in Indian courts Manoj Kumar Tiwari VS Manish Sisodia - Delhi, MANOJ KUMAR TIWARI Vs MANISH SISODIA & ORS. - Delhi, IND_Delhi_CRLMC-2342_2020 2020_DHC_3615.
- Several judgments emphasize that failure to produce this certificate can impact the admissibility of electronic evidence; courts have scrutinized whether the certificate meets the prescribed criteria, including details like server information and digital signatures MANOJ KUMAR TIWARI vs MANISH SISODIA & ORS. - Delhi, Galatea Ltd. VS Diyora And Bhanderi Corporation - Gujarat.
-
Notably, recent case law indicates that Facebook videos or social media content do not automatically require a certificate under Section 65B unless the evidence is electronic and needs authentication under this provision Manoj Kumar Tiwari VS Manish Sisodia - Delhi.
-
Analysis and Conclusion:
- The courts have clarified that while Section 65B of the Evidence Act is essential for authenticating electronic records, its non-production does not necessarily render the evidence inadmissible if other admissibility criteria are met.
- The key is whether the electronic evidence is properly authenticated; the certificate enhances credibility but is not an absolute requirement for all electronic evidence, especially if other corroborative evidence exists.
- Therefore, in the context of defamatory cases involving Facebook videos, the evidence can be considered without a Section 65B certificate if sufficient other proof is available, although producing such a certificate remains best practice for authenticity and admissibility Manoj Kumar Tiwari VS Manish Sisodia - Delhi, MANOJ KUMAR TIWARI Vs MANISH SISODIA & ORS. - Delhi.
