Proposition of the Law of Evidence is that
(I) Proceedings of Legislature may be proved by the records certified by a member present in the proceedings.
(II) Acts of the Central Government may be proved by the records of the department, certified by heads of the departments.
(III) Acts of the state may be proved by the document purporting to be printed by the order of such Government.
(IV) Acts of the State Government may be proved by records of the department certified by the head of the corresponding department of the Central Government.

Answer and explanation

Correct answer D

Under Section 77 of the Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam, 2023 (formerly Section 78 of the Indian Evidence Act, 1872), proceedings of a legislature are proved by its journals, published Acts or abstracts, or copies printed by Government order, not merely by a member's certificate, and acts of a State Government are proved by records of that State's own department, not of the corresponding Central department; so "I and IV are not true".
