Correct option is D
The correct answer is (d) Certified copies.
Explanation:
· Certified copies: As per the Indian Evidence Act, 1872, Certified copies are considered secondary evidence, not primary evidence. Primary evidence refers to the original document itself or its original form, whereas secondary evidence includes copies or reproductions of the original document.
Information Booster:
1. Primary Evidence (Section 62, Indian Evidence Act): Refers to the original document itself produced for inspection by the court. It is the best form of evidence.
2. Secondary Evidence (Section 63, Indian Evidence Act): Includes certified copies, copies made from the original, or oral accounts of the contents of a document.
Additional Information:
· Use of Secondary Evidence: Secondary evidence is admissible under certain conditions, such as when the original is lost, destroyed, or otherwise unobtainable, provided that the absence of the original is satisfactorily explained.
