Section 34:
Entries in books of account when relevant.
1[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.
Notes:
1. Subs. by Act 21 of 2000, s. 92 and the Second Schedule, for "entries in the books of account" (w.e.f. 17-10-2000).
