Information and communication technology has advanced greatly in the
past years. The developing world which was known for its analogue views
and mode of operation has now metamorphosed into a giant global village
where almost every activity involves the use of computers. The courts of Law
are not left out of this great change and innovation. In matters of disputes
as relating to electronic technology such as financial transactions,
communication, modern automobiles and so on, parties involved would
have no choice but to present electronic evidence as relating to the case at
hand. One of the most notable developments of the new Evidence Act of
2011, is the acknowledgement of electronic document as evidence admissible
before the court of Law. This paper is focused at examining the key
prominent provisions of the Evidence Act, 2011 as relating to the
admissibility of electronic evidence. It is also aimed at bringing out keys
points on when the evidence is a said to be admissible before the court of law
and when such evidence cannot be used as an evidence admissible before the
courts of Law.
