Answer and explanation
Correct answer: C - Both criminal law and civil law
The law of evidence, now the Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam, 2023 (BSA, which replaced the Indian Evidence Act, 1872 from 1 July 2024), applies under section 1(2) to all judicial proceedings in or before any court, civil and criminal alike, though not to affidavits or proceedings before an arbitrator. So it is not confined to criminal law or to civil law alone.
