Which provisions of the Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam, 2023 contain the special provisions as to evidence relating to electronic record?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer A
Sections 62 and 63 of the Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam, 2023 (formerly sections 65A and 65B of the Indian Evidence Act, 1872, inserted by the Information Technology Act, 2000) are the special electronic-record proof provisions: section 62 directs that the contents of electronic records may be proved in accordance with section 63, and section 63 lays down the conditions for admitting computer output. Merely showing that a record is electronic does not automatically satisfy section 63's requirements; section 63(4) and the Schedule specify the certificate, signed by the person in charge and an expert.
Section 59 deals with proof of documents by primary evidence, section 88 with the presumption as to certified copies of foreign judicial records and section 122 with estoppel of a tenant or licensee.
