Relevancy of statement as to fact of public nature contained in certain Acts or notifications
AI Assist
Summary
When a court has to decide whether a fact of public nature exists, a recital in any Central or State Act or in a government notification published in the Official Gazette is a relevant fact. Printed or electronic copies that purport to be the Gazette are treated the same way. Such recitals can be admitted and considered as evidence about that public fact.
Example
Priya needs the court to accept that a village road is a public road because the municipality published a notification in the Official Gazette declaring it so. The recital in that Gazette notification, or its printed/electronic copy, is a relevant fact the court can rely on to prove the road is public.
Bare Act
Enacted textWhen the Court has to form an opinion as to the existence of any fact of a public nature, any statement of it, made in a recital contained in any Central Act or State Act or in a Central Government or State Government notification appearing in the respective Official Gazette or in any printed paper or in electronic or digital form purporting to be such Gazette, is a relevant fact.
