Which of the following is least likely to be admitted as evidence in a court of law in India ?

A: Expert Evidence
B: Third party evidence.
C: Documentary evidence
D: Secondary Evidence
E: Oral evidence.

The answer is: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B. Third party evidence is least likely to be admitted as evidence in a court of law in India.

This statement is accurate because third party evidence is a type of hearsay evidence, which involves a person reporting facts they did not directly witness. Hearsay evidence is generally inadmissible in court, unless it falls under some exceptions, as outlined in Sections 32 and 33 of the Indian Evidence Act. The other statements are inaccurate because they describe types of evidence that are generally admissible in court, subject to certain conditions and exceptions.

For example, expert evidence is admissible under Section 45 of the Indian Evidence Act, documentary evidence is admissible under Section 3 of the Indian Evidence Act, secondary evidence is admissible under Sections 63 and 65 of the Indian Evidence Act, and oral evidence is admissible under Section 60 of the Indian Evidence Act.
