The Supreme Court held that the prosecution not having a certificate u/s. 65 B for the admissibility of a video recording at the stage of registering the charge sheet would not harm their case and nor deny them the right to admit said video into the recording as the said certificate is required at the trial stage.

Justice Chandrachud and Justice Hemant Gupta concluded that:

“The need for production of such a certificate would arise when the electronic record is sought to be produced in evidence at the trial. It is at that stage that the necessity of the production of the certificate would arise.”
