Section C, Paper III: Evidence Act and BSA

evidence judiciary intermediate experience_share

I just finished my Judicial Services exam prep and still trying to gather my pieces. I attempted this mock test and scored 82/100. My weak areas were sections on BSA (specifically, Sections 31-34 dealing with 'dying declaration') and few tricky questions on the Evidence Act like 's. 59' - where to draw the line between an admission and confession?

Here's an example question from the test:

  • A woman gives a dying declaration in a police station stating she was murdered by her husband. However, she didn't mention any names but in the background, a police personnel could overhear her shouting at her husband's name. Can the husband be named as a suspect in court under BSA?

Options: a) yes, under s. 33 b) yes, under s.

"Bhai, Section C Paper III me Evidence Act ke points aur BSA se judne wale points focus karna hoga. Evidence Act me, Section 9 ka mention hai ki ek statement ek witness se, jis ka testimony aaya hai, uska value hoga. Ab BSA me, yah point apply hota hai jo ki Section 3 BSA me mentioned hai, jo ki "relevant evidence" ke liye baitha hai.
