In which of the following matter, the court will not take Judicial Notice as per the provisions of the Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam, 2023?

Select one answer
Answer and explanation

Correct answer C

Facts stated in a local newspaper are not automatically facts of which the court must take judicial notice. Section 52 of the Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam, 2023 (formerly section 57 of the Indian Evidence Act, 1872) expressly includes the rule of the road, Gazette-notified holidays and the territory of India. Publication in a newspaper, by itself, does not establish the truth of its factual assertions.
