Relevancy of statements in maps, charts and plans
AI Assist
Summary
Statements about things normally shown on published maps or charts offered for public sale, or on maps and plans made by the Central or a State Government (for example roads, boundaries or landmarks), are treated as relevant facts. When such a map or plan is produced in court, what it states about those matters may be admitted as evidence. The rule covers published or official government maps and plans.
Example
Priya buys a plot and a published town map for sale shows the plot boundary and a public road next to it. In a boundary dispute she produces that published map in court; the map's statements about the boundary and the road are treated as relevant facts and can be used as evidence.
