A significant leap in the development of information technology over the past twenty years has made the global legal community respond to new challenges that have come along with the progress in the digital environment. Together with the convenience of using electronic resources, society has developed a need for a simple and understandable legislative regulation of legal relations arising from the use of computer information technologies and various products of electronic digital activity in order to protect their interests potentially. The concept and types of electronic evidence in civil proceedings in different countries have different meanings. Meanwhile, the regulations of their procedural admissibility and applicability differ. The common thing is the tendency towards an increase in the use of electronic information carriers in court proceedings, increasing importance for establishing specific facts, and the decisive evidentiary role in making decisions by the court. India became one of the first countries to realize the growing level of implementation of Internet technologies, electronic digital storage media, and computer dominance in society and the state's daily life [1] (Artemyeva, Y.A. et al.). The consequence of this understanding was the timely development and implementation of the substantive and procedural bases in evidence law for practical, understandable, and convenient use of electronic evidence in civil proceedings. The article examines the types and procedural status of electronic evidence and analyzes the current legislation and law enforcement practice in the admissibility and application of electronic evidence in civil proceedings in India. The study identifies the existing system of electronic evidence in the legal field of India, the determination of the advantages and disadvantages in the gathering, presentation, research, and evaluation of electronic evidence by the court in civil proceedings, as well as the identification of the procedural order for their provision. The researchers have identified the following tasks to achieve the goals: • to define and research the legislation of India governing the concept, types and procedural order of applicability and admissibility of electronic evidence in civil proceedings in India; • to develop a particular procedural order for the effective use of the institution of electronic evidence in civil litigation in India; • to identify the current trends in the gathering, presentation, research, and evaluation of electronic evidence in India's courts, based on the established judicial practice study. The research methodology is based on general theoretical and scientific methods of cognition, including abstraction and specification, analysis and synthesis, modeling and comparison, and systemic, logical, and functional analyzes. The scientific novelty of the research consists of a comprehensive study of the instruments of legal regulation of the institution of electronic evidence in India's legal field, including regulatory legal acts and judicial precedents, and a consideration of the possibility of applying Indian approaches in the jurisdictions of other countries. The analysis of legislation and jurisprudence regarding electronic evidence in India's civil proceedings was carried out using the synergistic principle of object study, statistical-sequential analysis, and empirical research method. This study's results can be used in lawmaking to develop and improve regulations regarding the procedural status and use of electronic evidence in civil litigation in any country. The reference, citation, and use of this article's conclusions and materials are permissible when conducting lectures and seminars on civil procedure and private international law, research activities, law enforcement practice, and teaching.

The article deals with the analysis of electronic evidence as a new means of evidence in civil proceedings. Due to the constant changes of the information environment and the improvement of information technologies there arises the question of consolidating the evidence obtained in the information space. The example of this evidence is the electronic evidence that provides information in electronic (digital) form containing information about the circumstances that matter to the case. There is defined, for the first time, the electronic evidence and the procedure for its submission and investigation at the legislative level. In procedural law such innovations are one of the means of achieving the effectiveness of civil justice, as they facilitate the full, comprehensive consideration and resolution of a civil lawsuit, the establishment of the true circumstances of the case, and the adoption of lawful and grounded decisions by courts, which is the purpose of civil justice. Electronic evidence is submitted to the court in three ways: in the original, in the electronic copy certified by an electronic digital signature, in paper copies, certified in the manner prescribed by law. Besides, the party submitting a copy of the electronic evidence must indicate that he/ she or some other person has the original of the electronic evidence. It is the responsibility of the claimant to attach to the statement of claim all the evidence available to support the circumstances on which the claim is based (if written or electronic evidence is provided, the claimant may attach a copy of the relevant evidence to the statement of claim). The claimant can submit electronic evidence using the Unified Court Information and Telecommunication System. In the article, there are highlighted the issues of the concept, nature and types of electronic evidence, the views of scientists on the features and significance of electronic evidence in civil proceedings. Moreover, the article focuses on problematic issues that the legislator should regulate to ensure that participants of the case are able to submit electronic evidence to court and implement their constitutional right to judicial protection. To reach these goals there were analyzed the views of scientists who investigated this type evidence. Unfortunately, the current CCP of Ukraine and other by-laws regulating the Institute of Electronic Evidence do not provide answers to many questions about the use of evidence from purely technical to legal ones. The legislator limited the work only to the general principles of applying a new type of evidence. Therefore, the judicial practice today is controversial when deciding whether electronic evidence is admissible and appropriate. Also in the article there is analyzed the judicial practice regarding the presentation of electronic evidence as the means of evidence to the court by the parties of the case. According to the results of theoretical study, there were made some suggestions to improve the civil procedural legislation of Ukraine.

The role of electronic evidence, namely electronic certificates as part of electronic documents in civil cases, is still questionable. The presence of the Electronic Information and Transactions Law, which is the legal umbrella for the validity of electronic certificates, apparently still raises pros and cons, even in the eyes of law enforcers, therefore more specific regulations are needed so that the validity and strength of proof of electronic certificates are no longer questioned in court proceedings, especially civil cases. Electronic certificate or also known as electronic land certificate as one of the products from The Ministry of Agrarian Affairs and Spatial Planning/National Land Agency which is currently being discussed will implement a media transfer process from analog to digital form. For this reason, it is necessary to prepare further regarding regulations to regulate how the later position and strength of evidence from electronic land certificates in Civil Procedure Law as an extension of evidence in civil cases. The method used in writing this scientific paper is legal research with the socio-legal method, namely by normatively examining the regulations regarding the Information dan Electronic Transaction of law in which have been used in civil proceedings in court and by looking at the existing norms and responses that are developing in the community. In the provisions of Article 6 of the Electronic Information and Transactions Law, an electronic document is considered valid if it is accessible, displayable, assured as to its integrity, and accountable. However, because it does not have perfect evidentiary power, it is necessary to accelerate the discussion of the Draft Civil Procedure Law, so that electronic land certificates as part of electronic documents have perfect evidentiary power in court, especially in civil cases.Keywords: Electronic Land Certificate, Evidence, Civil Procedure Law Intisari: Peran alat bukti elektronik yaitu sertipikat elektronik sebagai bagian dari dokumen elektronik dalam perkara perdata sampai saat ini masih dipertanyakan keabsahannya. Kehadiran UU ITE yang menjadi payung hukum dari keabsahan sertipikat elektronik rupanya masih menimbulkan pro dan kontra, bah­kan di mata penegak hukum, oleh karenanya dibutuhkan regulasi yang lebih spesifik agar keab­sahan dan kekuatan pembuktian dari sertipikat elektronik tidak lagi dipertanyakan dalam beracara di pengadilan khususnya perkara perdata. Sertipikat elektronik atau dapat juga disebut sertipikat tanah elektronik sebagai salah satu produk dari Kementerian Agraria dan Tata Ruang/ Badan Pertanahan Nasional (ATR/BPN) yang saat ini sedang diwacanakan akan diberlakukan atau akan dilaksanakan proses alih media dari bentuk analog ke bentuk digital. Untuk itu perlu dipersiapkan lebih lanjut menge­nai regulasi untuk mengatur bagaimana nantinya kedudukan dan kekuatan pembuktian dari sertipikat tanah elektronik dalam Hukum Acara Perdata sebagai perluasan alat bukti pada perkara perdata. Metode yang digunakan dalam penulisan karya ilmiah ini adalah penelitian hukum dengan metode sosio legal, yaitu dengan mengkaji secara yuridis normatif berbagai ketentuan perundang-undangan dan pengaturan mengenai dokumen elektronik yang selama ini dapat digunakan dalam beracara secara perdata di pengadilan serta dengan melihat norma dan respon yang ada dan berkem­bang di tengah masyarakat. Dalam ketentuan Pasal 6 UU ITE, suatu dokumen elektronik dianggap sah apabila dapat diakses, ditampilkan, dijamin keutuhannya, dan dapat dipertanggungjawabkan. Namun karena belum memiliki kekuatan pembuktian yang sempurna, maka perlu segera dipercepat pemba­hasan mengenai Rancangan Undang-Undang Hukum Acara Perdata, agar sertipikat tanah elektronik sebagai bagian dari dokumen elektronik memiliki kekuatan pembuktian yang sempurna di muka pengadilan khususnya perkara perdata.Kata Kunci: Sertipikat Tanah Elektronik, Pembuktian, Hukum Acara Perdata
