For the purposes of the Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam, 2023, what type of secondary evidence relating to public documents may be given?

Select one answer
Answer and explanation

Correct answer B

Section 60(e) of the Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam, 2023 (formerly section 65(e) of the Indian Evidence Act) allows secondary proof of a public document under section 74, but section 60 limits that route to its certified copy. Sections 75–76 provide for obtaining and producing certified copies. An ordinary uncertified photocopy, oral account or written admission is not interchangeable with that prescribed public-document proof route.
