WhatsApp chats are commonly used in daily communication, but many people are unsure whether such messages can be used as evidence in court. Under Indian law, electronic records, including WhatsApp messages, can be admitted as evidence if certain legal conditions are satisfied.

Courts do not automatically accept screenshots of chats as proof. To rely on WhatsApp messages, the party producing them must establish authenticity, meaning the messages are genuine and unaltered. This usually requires compliance with Section 65B of the Indian Evidence Act, which deals with electronic evidence and certification.

WhatsApp chats may be used to support claims in cases involving threats, harassment, agreements, admissions, or disputes. However, courts carefully examine context, sender identity, completeness of chats, and whether messages were manipulated or selectively presented.

Privacy is also a concern. Chats obtained illegally or without proper procedure may be challenged in court. Merely possessing a message does not guarantee its acceptance as evidence; the manner of collection and reliability are equally important.

In practice, WhatsApp chats can be used in court, but only after strict legal scrutiny. They serve as supporting evidence rather than conclusive proof and must be assessed along with other facts and materials.

In my opinion, technology cannot replace human judges in courts; it can only assist judges in providing judgments because law is not just a subject of rules and data but also of justice, equality, and fairness . Decisions require human morality, honesty, and qualities beyond what AI can provide. Judgments cannot be decided solely on past data, as law deals with human lives and values. In the contemporary world, AI has already begun speeding up tasks such as legal research , Managing case files , scheduling hearings and meetings , analyzing large documents , also works as a data analyst . Keeping in note that all of these are the supporting role which an AI provides  to the judge , to make their work easier and improve consistency.    The major problem with giving complete authority to an AI judge is that artificial intelligence is trained on past data, including previous judgments. If those judgments contain biases—such as social, class, or gender bias it is quite po...
