    Question

    "Evidence obtained by undesirable means is admissible if it is otherwise relevant." The Court said so in?

    A.

    Pushpa Devi M. Jatia v. M.L. Wadhawah

    B.

    Hurprashad v. Sheo Dayal

    C.

    Kalpnath Rai v. State of Maharashtra

    D.

    Rouny v. State of Maharashtra

    Correct option is A


    The correct answer is (a) Pushpa Devi M. Jatia v. M.L. Wadhawah. The principle that evidence obtained by undesirable means is admissible if otherwise relevant was affirmed in the case of Pushpa Devi M. Jatia v. M.L. Wadhawah. The judgment emphasized that the method of obtaining evidence does not necessarily invalidate its admissibility, provided the evidence is relevant to the case.
    Information Booster
    The admissibility of evidence in legal proceedings focuses on its relevance rather than the means through which it was obtained. However, the Court may still consider the manner of acquisition in determining the weight or credibility of the evidence.
    Additional Knowledge
    · (b) Hurprashad v. Sheo Dayal This case is related to the law of property rather than the admissibility of evidence.
    · (c) Kalpnath Rai v. State of Maharashtra This case involves the interpretation of criminal laws but is not directly related to the admissibility of evidence obtained by undesirable means.
    · (d) Rouny v. State of Maharashtra This case also does not deal with the specific issue of evidence admissibility as addressed in option (a).
