A court finds a witness’s examination necessary for justice, but attendance would cause unreasonable delay, expense or inconvenience in the circumstances. What route does BNSS section 319(1) permit?

Select one answer
Answer and explanation

Correct answer C

BNSS section 319(1) permits dispensing with attendance and issuing a commission where the necessary witness’s attendance would entail unreasonable delay, expense or inconvenience. It supplies a means to obtain evidence rather than automatically abandon or replace it with an untested affidavit. The section does not make personal attendance after adjournment the exclusive route.
