A.Dear Client,
The screenshots of chats, and text messages can generally be admissible before the court of law but are considered as secondary evidence. It must be produced along with the phone used to send the message or a certificate under Section 65B of the Evidence Act. There might be an issue regarding its credibility as it can be tampered with. Hence, the court will thoroughly examine and evaluate the admissibility and significance of the screenshot according to the facts and circumstances of the case. If required, you can consult an advocate for advice and assistance in the matter.
Hope it helps.
