The correct answer is (b).
Section 62 of the Indian Evidence Act deals with secondary evidence. It states that secondary evidence is admissible when the original is not available. Secondary evidence can be in the form of a copy, a photograph, or a statement of a witness who has seen the original.
Section 60 of the Indian Evidence Act deals with the production of documents. It states that the original of a document must be produced in court unless there is a good reason why it cannot be produced.
Section 63 of the Indian Evidence Act deals with the admissibility of secondary evidence of documents. It states that secondary evidence of a document is admissible if the original is not available.
Section 65 of the Indian Evidence Act deals with the admissibility of secondary evidence of facts. It states that secondary evidence of facts is admissible if the original evidence is not available.
Here are some examples of secondary evidence:
- A copy of a document
- A photograph of a document
- A statement of a witness who has seen the original document
- A witness’s recollection of the contents of a document
Secondary evidence is not as reliable as original evidence, but it can be used in court if the original evidence is not available.
