Hearsay Evidence under Section 59 of Evidence Act

Yeh sawal last year ke TS LAWCET se aaya tha. "Determine the admissibility of the evidence given by A, a witness, who has heard a rumor from his servant that B, a businessman, was caught cheating in a previous examination. Explain with the help of relevant sections of the Indian Evidence Act."

Correct approach ke according, pahle hume Section 59 ko check karna hoga, jiska kaha hai ki yeh evidence admissible hoga kyonki yeh iska main witness hai. Lekin, humein pata chalne wala hai ki yeh servant ka kahaana hearsay evidence hai, jiska meaning Section 113 ka hai. Isliye, hume yeh check karna hoga ki servant ka kahaana A ka original knowledge hai ya phir yeh ek hearsay hai.
