Point out the incorrect statement:

If a contract is contained in several letters, all the letters in which it is contained must be proved.

If a contract is contained in a bill of exchange, the bill of exchange must be proved.

If a bill of exchange is drawn in a set of three, one only needs to be proved.

If 'A' gives 'B' a receipt for money paid by 'B', oral evidence is offered of the payment, the evidence is not admissible.

Solution

Correct option is D

The incorrect statement is (d). According to the Indian Evidence Act, if a document like a receipt is provided as proof of payment, oral evidence is generally not admissible to contradict the terms of a written document, unless fraud, duress, or ambiguity is involved.
