Definition
Best evidence rule, is rule of evidence in order to prove what is said or pictured in a writing, recording, or photograph the original must be privileged unless the original is lost, destroyed, or otherwise, unobtainable, Webster's Dictionary of Law, Indian Edn. (2005), p. 49.
Best evidence rule, is the rule when the judges and sages of the law have laid down that there is but one general rule of evidence, the best that the nature of the case will allow, Omychnd v. Barker, (1745) 1 Atk 21.
Best evidence rule, means the rule requires in effect that the best or most direct evidence of a fact should be adduced or its absence accounted e.g. the best evidence of the existence of the contents of a letter i.e. its production in court. The rule no longer applies as the court admits all relevant evidence, Kajaal v. Nable, (1982) 75 Cr App 149.
