Which of the following sections of the Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam, 2023 is not an example of the "Best Evidence Rule"?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer D
The best evidence rule is reflected in "Section 55" (oral evidence must be direct), "Section 59" (documents proved by primary evidence) and "Section 94" (evidence of terms of contracts reduced to the form of a document) of the Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam, 2023; "Section 167", dealing with use as evidence of a document whose production was refused on notice, is not an instance of that rule (formerly Sections 60, 64, 91 and 164 of the Indian Evidence Act, 1872).
