Answer and explanation

Correct answer C

Section 139 of the Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam, 2023 (formerly section 134 of the Indian Evidence Act, 1872) imposes no fixed numerical requirement for witnesses proving a fact. That freedom remains subject to the court’s power to exclude irrelevant or deliberately delaying evidence, rather than a party’s unlimited entitlement to prolong trial.
