Question

According to Section 46 of Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam, when is character evidence relevant in civil cases?

• A. Always relevant to prove conduct
• B. Only when related to other relevant fact
• C. Never relevant
• D. Only in criminal cases

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Section 46 of the Bhartiya Sakshya Adhiniyam (BSA) states that character evidence is generally not relevant in civil cases. However, it can be relevant if it is connected to some other relevant fact in issue. For example, if the character of a witness is relevant to their credibility, then evidence of their character may be admissible.
