A lot of people say, “I have screenshots as proof.”
But screenshots alone are often not enough.
The first thing that matters is the **original data**.
If you only have a screenshot, but the actual WhatsApp chat, email, or message is not available on your device, backup, or cloud, its value drops significantly. Screenshots can be edited in seconds. Courts look for the **source**, not just the image.
The second mistake is how screenshots are taken.
If the contact is saved as a name like “Amish Sir,” it proves nothing. Names can be changed or manipulated. What matters is the **phone number or email ID** being clearly visible.
So the right approach is simple:
Keep the original messages सुरक्षित, on your phone, backup, or cloud.
And when capturing screenshots, ensure the **actual number/email is visible**, not just a saved contact name.
Because in law, it’s not about what looks real
it’s about what can be proven.
