Which of the following Section of the Indian Evidence Act, 1872 deals with cases in which statement of relevant fact is made by a person who is dead or cannot be found?
A. Section 30
B. Section 31
C. Section 32
D. Section 33
Explanation:
A special CBI court recently convicted two policemen for the custodial death of a murder accused, who had been burnt alive inside the police station. The judgment relied heavily on the ‘dying declaration’ made by the victim prior to his death. The law presumes that no person will meet their maker with a lie in their mouth. So Section 32 of the Indian Evidence Act, 1872 deals with cases in which statement of relevant fact is made by a person who is dead or cannot be found.
