What do you mean by word ‘EVIDENCE’ ?

A: Every fact connected with case
B: Facts introduced in court of law
C: Both
D: None

The answer is: B

Explanation

The correct option is B: Facts introduced in court of law.

According to the Indian Evidence Act, 1872, evidence means all statements and documents that are permitted or required by the court to prove or disprove the facts under inquiry. Evidence does not include every fact that is connected with the case, but only those that are relevant and admissible according to the law.

For example, if A is accused of murdering B, the fact that A had a motive to kill B is relevant and can be introduced as evidence, but the fact that A likes to watch horror movies is not relevant and cannot be introduced as evidence. Therefore, option B is the correct answer.
