Are Photocopies of Documents Allowed as Evidence in Court?

A “duplicate” is a counterpart produced by the same impression as the original, or from the same matrix, or by means of photography, including enlargements and miniatures or by mechanical or electronic re-recording, or by chemical reproduction, or by equivalent techniques which accurately reproduce the original.

A duplicate is admissible to the same extent as an original unless (1) a genuine question is raised as to the authenticity of the original, or (2) in the circumstances, it is unjust or inequitable to admit the duplicate in lieu of the original. (Section 4, par. b and c, Rule 130, Revised Rules on Evidence)
