I have a question regarding the validity of evidence presentable in court. Can one side produce evidence that has been obtained through illegal means such as theft, corporate espionage, or similar? Will the evidence or any conclusion derived from it become inadmissible due to being "the fruit of a poisoned tree"?

A blanket opinion cannot be given as to whether such documents would be admissible. I personally know a case where a writ petition filed against the company was dismissed as the petitioner had annexed lot of documents which were found to have been stolen from office records. On being pointed out about this, the High Court promptly dismissed it saying 'those who seek equity must come with clean hands'.

I am agree with KK!HR but its again depends on the honourable court how they look in to the case /matter or again how skillfully the opponent or aggrieved party representative prove that the documents are stolen or in short not clean.
