The Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam, 2023 is not applicable in which case ?
Answer: A
The Adhiniyam does not apply to an Arbitral Tribunal.
Section 1(2) of the Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam, 2023, like Section 1 of the Indian Evidence Act before it, applies the Act to judicial proceedings in or before any Court, but expressly not to affidavits or to proceedings before an arbitrator. Section 19 of the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996 confirms that an arbitral tribunal is not bound by the evidence law.
The National Company Law Tribunal, the National Green Tribunal and the Income Tax Appellate Tribunal are governed by their own statutes and are often relieved of strict evidence rules, but the Adhiniyam names only the arbitrator, which is why that is the keyed answer.
