Fact judicially noticeable need not be proved

Facts the court takes judicial notice of do not need proof. When the court recognises indisputable or publicly known matters (for example calendar dates, official notifications, or established facts), parties need not produce evidence for them. The court accepts such facts as established and proceeds without formal proof.

Priya refers to a central government notification said to be published in the Official Gazette. The court takes judicial notice of the Gazette and its publication date, so Priya need not call a witness or produce extra proof to establish that date.
