Which of the following sections of the Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam, 2023 prescribes conditions for making oral admissions as to the contents of documents as relevant?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer B
Section 20 of the Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam, 2023 (formerly section 22 of the Indian Evidence Act, 1872) governs oral admissions about document contents. Such admissions are ordinarily irrelevant unless the party proposing them shows entitlement to give secondary evidence of the contents, or the genuineness of a produced document is in question. Section 19 contains the general rule on proof of admissions; section 21 concerns civil admissions made on a without-prejudice condition.
