🗣️ Simple Explanation

This section deals with how electronic records (like emails or digital documents) are used as evidence in court. If the court believes the record is authentic and in the right person's possession, it can accept it as genuine.

💡 Real Life Example

A sends an email to B, and later, the email is presented in court as evidence. If the court believes the email is genuine and in A's possession, it can be accepted as evidence.

🛡️ KNOW YOUR RIGHTS
