Select one answer
Answer and explanation

Correct answer B

Section 35 of the Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam, 2023 (formerly section 41 of the Indian Evidence Act, 1872) gives the specified conclusive effect to a competent court’s final probate, matrimonial, admiralty or insolvency judgment conferring or removing the relevant legal character or absolute entitlement. These are the listed judgments in rem. A judgment is not necessarily in rem merely because it is declaratory, criminal or delivered by the Supreme Court.
