In which of the following cases decided by the Supreme Court in 2015 was it held that "CCTV footage is the best evidence"?

Select one answer
Answer and explanation

Correct answer D

Tomaso Bruno discussed the hotel CCTV recording as the best available evidence of whether the accused remained at the relevant location. The prosecution’s failure to produce it contributed to the evidentiary doubt and adverse-inference analysis. The observation is contextual, not a declaration that every CCTV recording automatically outweighs all other evidence.

Current law: Arjun Panditrao in 2020 held Tomaso Bruno per incuriam regarding its electronic-record admissibility approach and reaffirmed the section 65B certificate framework. This must be distinguished from identifying the quoted CCTV observation. BSA sections 61–63 now govern electronic records in proceedings to which the new Act applies.
