Answer and explanation

Correct answer A

Section 109 of the Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam, 2023 (formerly section 106 of the Indian Evidence Act, 1872) provides that when a fact is especially within the knowledge of any person, the burden of proving it is on that person; in context this means "a party to the suit" or proceeding, not a witness or a stranger. It does not relieve the party who must prove a case of the initial burden under sections 104-106 (Anil Rishi v Gurbaksh Singh).
