ABSTRACT
The electronic evidence is born in the digital world and generated, evolved as much as the technologies is developed. The digital world expands the module of human communication as to the physical world. The help taken from the other statute to derive the meaning the electronic evidence. As so many ambiguities are there to exhaustively define the term of digital evidence and its admissibility in the purview of the evidence act.
The Justice in the department of Judiciary have utilized the tool of interpretation vested in their hands to construe the meaning, intent and scope of the particular provisions as it is embedded in the statute or sometimes it is on the discretion of the judge to go beyond the letters on the basis of reasonable ground as the situation made before them in the courts of law. These rules had their own nature of construction to construe the ambit of electronic evidence as per the Indian law.
The research paper addresses the dodge in the applying of the interpreting rule in the evidence as well as the electronic evidence and to adopt the adequate rule to construe its nature, meaning and the scope of the electronic evidence in the ambit of the evidence statute in the secular nation.
Keywords: Digital Evidence, Digital World, Interpretation, Admissibility, Technology.
