Indian Evidence Act, 1872
34. Entries in books of account when relevant
8A [Entries in the books
of account, including those maintained in an electronic form], regularly kept
in the course of business, are relevant whenever they refer to a matter into which
the court has to inquire but such statements shall not alone be sufficient
evidence to charge any person with liability.
Illustration
A sues B for Rs. 1,000
and shows entries in his account- books showing B to be indebted to him to this
amount. The entries are relevant, but are not sufficient, without other
evidence, to prove the debt.
