We can legally guide you after perusing the documents. However, there are few exceptions to the general rule where Documents lost or destroyed can be proved and admissible in evidence on leading secondary evidence. Request you to kindly come with Documents and meet.

Hi,
The photocopy shall be marked and not exhibited. Although, such document shall be read by the Hon'ble Court but cannot be relied upon. It shall be helpful if i can have a look at the said document. For more information, feel free to have a word with me. All the best.

Documentary Evidence means writings on paper and that paper will be of no value if it does not have required signatures.
If that document has valid signatures then that will be admissible in the court even when it is partially true.

as I have said above if there is document it should signed properly and if signatures are there then photocopy can work to some extent without the originals or for the same affidavit can be given.
