Fact judicially noticeable need not be proved

Facts that a court will take judicial notice of do not need to be proved. When a fact is notorious, easily verifiable, or established by law or official records, the court accepts it without evidence. The consequence is parties need not produce proof for such facts.

Priya relies on a government notification showing the date a law came into force. The court takes judicial notice of that official date, so she does not need to call witnesses or produce extra evidence to prove when the law began.
