Admissibility of electronic evidence: The Tribunal held that digital images reproduced in the assessment order lacked requisite legal sanctity because the s.65B certificate and CBDT Manual protocols were not complied with - no officer's attestation of seizure, no documented chain of custody, absence of device identifiers (IMEI) linkage to hash values, and no proof that master/working copies analyzed matched the certified hashes.
