Under the Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam, 2023, in which of the following cases is only a certified copy of the document admissible?

Select one answer
Answer and explanation

Correct answer C

When the original is a public document under section 74, section 60 of the Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam, 2023 (formerly section 65 of the Indian Evidence Act) permits a certified copy and excludes other kinds of secondary evidence. Loss, non-production after notice and an original that cannot easily be moved fall into different categories, for which other secondary evidence may be admissible. The restriction concerns secondary proof; it does not exclude production of the original itself.
