Select one answer
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).
