Admissibility of statements recorded under section 108 and electronic records requires strict compliance with the statutory procedural safeguards in sections 138B and 138C; the adjudicating authority must examine the witness, form an opinion on admissibility, and afford cross-examination, and electronic printouts must satisfy prescribed certification and panchnama formalities, failing which the doctrine of exclusion applies.
