42.
The answer is: B
Explanation
The Best Evidence Rule is a legal principle that governs the admissibility of evidence in court, particularly when dealing with documentary evidence. The rule generally states that if a party wishes to prove the content of a document, recording, or writing, the original document should be presented as evidence, rather than relying on a copy or other secondary evidence.
In the context of the options provided:
B: 64 is correct.
Section 64 of the Indian Evidence Act, 1872, incorporates the Best Evidence Rule. It states:
"Proof of documents by primary evidence.—Documents must be proved by primary evidence except in the cases hereinafter mentioned."
This section emphasizes the importance of primary evidence (the original document) when proving the contents of a document in court.
Therefore, the correct answer is B: 64.
