In relation to Relevancy of Character in civil cases, which of the following is not correct

Select one answer
Answer and explanation

Correct answer A

In civil cases character is generally irrelevant under the Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam, 2023 (section 46, formerly section 52 of the Indian Evidence Act, 1872), but it becomes relevant in certain situations: "It is relevant when it affects award of damage" (section 50, formerly section 55), "When character is itself an issue", and "When it appears from the fact otherwise relevant". The statement that is not correct is therefore "It is not at all relevant".
