Case of Pune Bar Association vs Union of India, SC Judgement Dated 22nd May 2026. The petitioner had argued that the dual requirements of disclosing a digital record hash value under Part A and obtaining a signature from a government notified expert under Part B imposed an extremely onerous obligation on ordinary litigants, rendering the provision manifestly arbitrary and unjust. The apex court clarified that any individual possessing special skills and expertise in computer science and cyber forensics can validly sign Part B of the standard-form certificate under Section 63(4) of the Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam (BSA), provided the court is satisfied with their credentials on the basis of unimpeachable material.
