'WhatsApp Conversations Are Not Evidence Without A Proper Certificate': Delhi HC

News 18  

The Delhi High Court, on Tuesday, held that WhatsApp conversations cannot be admitted as evidence in legal proceedings unless accompanied by a mandatory certificate as required by the Evidence Act of 1872. The court made such observations in a plea filed by Dell International Services, challenging an order from the State Consumer Dispute Redressal Commission. The commission had upheld the District Commission’s decision to reject Dell’s written statement due to its late submission. The court, however, upheld the lower commission’s ruling, emphasising the inadmissibility of WhatsApp conversations as evidence in the absence of the mandated certificate.
