Which one of the following sections of the Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam, 2023 provides for production of documents or electronic records which another person, having possession, could refuse to produce?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer B
Section 136 of the Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam, 2023 (formerly Section 131 of the Indian Evidence Act, 1872) prevents compelled production of documents or electronic records where another person could lawfully refuse production if that person possessed them, unless that person consents. This preserves the other person’s privilege despite custody elsewhere. Section 134 concerns confidential communications with legal advisers, Section 135 production of title-deeds of a witness who is not a party, and Section 137 self-incriminating answers.
