Confusion in Section 92 of Evidence Act 1872

evidence cuet_pg advanced concept_confusion

Maine toh phle din hi yeh realize kiya tha ki section 92 Evidence Act kaafi confusing hai. Koi bhi baat hai ab bas yehi soch rahta hoon ki section 92 kahaan se aaya hai aur kya karega. Yeh kaha hai ki jo statements, acts, or declarations by one person against interest of that person shall not be considered relevant in any case. Lekin phir bhi, yeh same statements ho jaate hain relevant jiska purpose hai to prove motive or intent of that person. Iski to lagta hai ki ye section apni hi aapni hain. Maine khudhi kaha tha ki yeh to contradicting hai, lekin ab phir se sochta hoon ki ki kya main galat hai?

Confusion in Section 92 of Evidence Act 1872 yeh to hai: Section 92 basically allows courts to presume any fact in issue and relevant to the matters in dispute, when it appears to the court to be just and reasonable in so doing. Yeh essentially means that court can use presumptions for deciding cases, but it's up to the court to decide whether it's just and reasonable in a particular case.
