Select one answer
Answer and explanation

Correct answer D

Judicial notice means that the court recognises certain facts as true without requiring them to be proved; under sections 51 and 52 of the Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam, 2023 (formerly sections 56 and 57 of the Indian Evidence Act, 1872), facts of which the court must take judicial notice need not be proved. It is not a notice issued by a judge, the judge's observation of a witness's demeanour, or merely bringing facts to the judge's attention, so "None of the given options is correct".
