Cracking the Evidence Act: A Mock Test Experience

I had the misfortune of sitting through a 2-hour long mock test on Evidence Act in Judicial Services examination preparation. Jab tum log mock tests dete ho, I'm at my shift. The questions were from a recent set and I was hoping for a decent score.

Section A had 20 questions on General Principles of Evidence with a 10-mark question on what constitutes a relevant fact under Section 6 of the Evidence Act. I got that one wrong (answer: it's relevant if it has a "probable relation" to the matter in issue). Total score in this section - 17 out of 30.

Section B on Documentary Evidence had only 5 questions, but one of them killed me - a 10-mark question on what is required for an entry in a public record to be admissible, as per Section 35A.
