Answer and explanation

Correct answer C

Under section 52(1) of the Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam, 2023 (formerly section 57 of the Indian Evidence Act, 1872), the court must take judicial notice of, among other facts, any international treaty, agreement or convention with country or countries by India (clause (b)) and the course of proceeding of the Constituent Assembly of India, of Parliament of India and of the State Legislatures (clause (c)). Both matters are therefore covered, so 'Both' is correct; choosing only one of them, or neither, is wrong.

Unlike the old section 57, section 52 no longer refers to Acts or proceedings of the Parliament of the United Kingdom.
