The admissibility of electronic evidence has grown in importance in modern legal procedures, calling for a strong legal and procedural framework. Beginning with the Indian Evidence Act of 1872 and ending with the Information Technology Act of 2000, this article traces the development of electronic evidence in Indian law. The requirements of admissibility under Sections 65A and 65B have been considerably impacted by judicial interpretations, which are examined severely. In addition, the article assesses the Bharatiya Sakshya Sanhita, 2023, a contemporary piece of legislation that seeks to streamline and fortify the way electronic data are treated as evidence. The paper draws attention to the difficulties, contradictions, and potential consequences of incorporating digital evidence into the conventional justice delivery system by analyzing doctrinal texts and reviewing relevant case law.
