Murder of deceased in Hospital using firearms based principally on CCTV footage system. Hard disk of computer system pertaining to the CCTV cameras not played in court, but only certified version contained in pen drive and compact disks copies of such hard disk played in the court and at no stage any objection was raised. Held, courts below were not in error in relying upon CCTV footages available through aforesaid sources to ground conviction of the accused concerned. Copies of electronic evidence are sufficient when duly certified as per S. 65-B. The fact that original electronic evidence was one of the exhibits of the evidence on record, but not played in court, and only the certified copies thereof were played in court, is of no effect.
