Tampered with Evidence?
evidence mh_cet_law advanced case_analysisSanjay, a shopkeeper in Pune, has been sued by a customer, Rohan, for selling a low-quality TV. During the trial, Sanjay's lawyer submits the purchase receipt as evidence, which shows that Rohan had signed a disclaimer form stating that the TV was sold as is. But, after inspecting the receipt, the judge notices that the signature of Rohan seems tampered with. The receipt also has some hand-written notes which seem to be in a different handwriting, mentioning that the TV has a 1-year warranty. What are the legal implications of tampered with evidence in this case? Can the court accept this evidence? What provisions of the Evidence Act will come into play?

Kya baat hai? Tampering with evidence is a serious crime. We cannot allow such unethical practices in the legal system. If evidence is tampered with, it not only undermines the justice system but also affects the credibility of the trial. I completely agree with the statement that tampering with evidence is unacceptable.
