The Indian Evidence Act, 1872
Section 1-48
Section 4
Section 17
Section 34- Entries in books of account when relevant

Entries in books of account, regularly kept in the course of business, are relevant whenever they refer to a matter into which the Court has to inquire, but such statements shall not alone be sufficient evidence to charge any person with liability.

Illustration

A sues B for Rs.1,000, and shows entries in his account books showing B to be indebted to him to this amount. The entries are relevant but are not sufficient, without other evidence, to prove the debt.
