Where the handwriting of a teacher is in question the opinion of his principal may be relevant under which Section of the Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam, 2023?

Select one answer
Answer and explanation

Correct answer A

Section 41(1) of the Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam, 2023 (formerly section 47 of the Indian Evidence Act, 1872) makes an opinion on handwriting relevant when the person is acquainted with it, including regular receipt of purported writings in the ordinary course of business. A principal who knows the teacher’s handwriting can qualify on that basis; the office alone is not conclusive proof. Sections 42–44 concern custom/right, usages/tenets and relationship.
