117 is admission from the side of the accused when P.W. 16 in his cross examination stated that “May be people keep Whatsapp, Gmail, Chrome and other important apps in their smart phones. I know how to access these apps. These apps can be accessed from anywhere provided that there is internet connectivity”. So, even though the accused denied the existence of Google but the cross examination of P.W. 16 shows otherwise. Now, as per Section 3 of the Indian Evidence Act under the heading “Evidence” — “ Evidence” means and includes — (1) all statements which the Court permits or requires to be made before it by witnesses, in relation to matters of fact under inquiry, such statements are called oral evidence; (2) all documents including electronic records produced for the inspection of the Court, such documents are called documentary evidence. and again as per the definitions of “Proved” “Proved” — A fact is said to be proved when, after considering the matters before it, the Court either believes it to exist, or considers its existence so probable that a prudent man ought, under the circumstances of the particular case, to act upon the supposition that it exists. In this present case, the technical term “URL” stands for Uniform Resource Locator means which locates a particular computer resources. P.W. 1 showed the computer resources specified by the URL mentioned by her and she herself opened the same and placed before this court for inspection. In today’s virtual world almost everything is defined by the URL which mentions a particular computer resource or resources lying in a particular server. Hence the very URL located electronic record in a live mode is also an evidence and through other evidences its existence is believed by this court and the fact of uploaded nude videos is hereby proved. At the time of argument Ld. Lawyer for the accused submitted that many CD and DVD are marked as exhibits but the contents of those CD and DVD are unknown to all and thus the contents are not at all proved and referred a citation (2013) 1 KLJ 256.
