However, this principle is not absolute and there are cases where it may be rebutted. For example, if someone is found in possession of stolen goods, it is clear that they are not the owner of those goods.<\/p>\n<p>The principle of &#8220;possession as prima facie evidence of ownership&#8221; is an important one in the law of evidence. It helps to ensure that people who are found in possession of things are not automatically assumed to be guilty of theft. However, it is important to remember that this principle is not absolute and that it can be rebutted in certain cases.<\/p>\n<p>The other options are incorrect because they do not refer to the principle of &#8220;possession as prima facie evidence of ownership.&#8221; Section 109 of the Indian Evidence Act deals with the presumption of innocence, while Section 110 deals with the presumption of death. Section III of the Indian Evidence Act does not contain any specific provisions on the presumption of ownership.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[amp_mcq option1=&#8221;Section 106&#8243;
