[amp_mcq option1=”Section 159″ option2=”Section 158″ option3=”Section 155″ option4=”Section 160 ” correct=”option1″]<\/p>\n
The correct answer is (a) Section 159.<\/p>\n
Section 159 of the Indian Evidence Act, 1872 provides for \u00e2\u0080\u0098refreshing memory\u00e2\u0080\u0099. It states that a witness may refresh his memory by referring to any writing made by himself at the time of the transaction concerning which he is questioned, or at any time shortly afterwards, if the Judge considers that such writing was made in good faith and that the referring to it will not mislead the Court.<\/p>\n
The other options are incorrect because they do not provide for \u00e2\u0080\u0098refreshing memory\u00e2\u0080\u0099. Section 158 provides for the production of documents, Section 155 provides for the examination of witnesses on commission, and Section 160 provides for the examination of witnesses before the trial.<\/p>\n
Section 159 of the Indian Evidence Act, 1872 is important because it allows witnesses to refresh their memory by referring to documents that they made at the time of the event or shortly afterwards. This can be helpful for witnesses who have difficulty remembering details of an event, as it can help them to recall information that they might otherwise have forgotten.<\/p>\n
However, it is important to note that the witness must be able to show that the document was made in good faith and that referring to it will not mislead the Court. If the Court is not satisfied that these conditions are met, then it may not allow the witness to refresh their memory.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
