Answer and explanation

Correct answer B

The law of evidence is classified as procedural (adjective) law: it regulates which facts may be proved, by what evidence and in what manner, rather than creating the rights in dispute. The Supreme Court discussed this classification in Izhar Ahmad Khan v. Union of India (1962). Some presumptions have substantive consequences, but that does not make the law of evidence substantive law or a mixture of both.
