Discussion
Which of the following is not a document as per the Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam, 2023 ?
Answer: D
The item that is not a document is Private papers.
Section 2(1)(d) of the Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam, 2023 defines a document as any matter expressed or described on any substance by letters, figures or marks, or by any other means, intended to be used for recording that matter, including electronic and digital records. Its illustrations name writing, words printed, lithographed or photographed, a map or plan, an inscription on a metal plate or stone, and a caricature, among others.
Map, inscription and caricature are therefore expressly documents. 'Private papers' is not a category the definition or its illustrations use; the Adhiniyam classifies documents as public or private, which is a different matter.
