The correct answer is D. Indian Evidence Act.
The Indian Evidence Act, 1872 is a law in India that governs the rules of evidence in civil and criminal trials. The Act was enacted by the British Parliament and came into force on 1st September 1872. The Act has been amended several times since its enactment.
The Act deals with the admissibility of evidence in court. It lays down the rules for the production of evidence, the examination of witnesses, and the cross-examination of witnesses. The Act also deals with the presumptions of law and fact.
Section 107 of the Indian Evidence Act deals with the presumption of death. The section states that “a person is presumed to be dead if he has not been heard of for seven years by those who would naturally have heard of him if he had been alive.”
The section further states that “the presumption of death may be rebutted by evidence showing that the person is alive.”
The presumption of death is a rebuttable presumption. This means that the presumption can be defeated by evidence to the contrary. The burden of proof is on the person who is trying to rebut the presumption.
The presumption of death is a useful tool in law. It can be used to determine the rights of heirs, to distribute property, and to dissolve marriages.
The other options are incorrect because they do not deal with the presumption of death.
A. Insurance Act, 1938 is a law that governs the insurance industry in India. The Act does not deal with the presumption of death.
B. IRDA Act, 1999 is a law that established the Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority of India (IRDA). The Act does not deal with the presumption of death.
C. IRDA Regulations, 2000 are regulations that were issued by the IRDA under the IRDA Act, 1999. The regulations do not deal with the presumption of death.
