Which one of the following statements is correct? The protection of professional communication as provided under the Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam, 2023, in sections 132 to 134 is available only
Answer and explanation
Correct answer D
The privilege for professional communications under Sections 132 to 134 of the Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam, 2023 (formerly sections 126 to 129 of the Indian Evidence Act) does not extend to communications made in furtherance of an illegal purpose, so it protects a client who consults his legal adviser "after commission of the crime or illegal acts", not "before commission of the offence or illegal acts".
