In August this year, the Hon’ble Supreme Court (“SC”) decided to take up the matter of whether the landmark judgment in the context of admissibility of electronic records - the case of Anwar PV v. PK Basheer & Ors., should be applied retrospectively or prospectively. This matter becomes even more important in light of the implementation of the new Bharatiya Sakshya Adhniyam, which has widened the ambit for the admissibility of digital and electronic records to quite an extent. Thus, considering this crucial juncture, this paper contends two things. First, it argues that the Anwar judgment needs to be reconsidered in light of the BSA and the issues existent in the said judgment. Second, at this stage at least, the effect of the ruling should only be prospective in nature, considering the myriad practical difficulties in its implementation. By and large, this paper bats for a flexible approach in authentication and admissibility of electronic evidence while maintaining the integrity of the evidence so considered.
