Relevancy of statements in maps, charts and plans
AI Assist
Summary
Statements of fact made in maps, charts or plans that are published for public sale or prepared by the Central or a State Government about matters they ordinarily represent are themselves relevant facts. The rule applies to commercially published maps and official government maps or plans. Such statements can be treated by a court as evidence of the facts they state.
Example
Priya buys an official city plan published by the municipal authority that shows the width of a lane beside her shop. Later, in a suit about a boundary and right-of-way, the plan's statement about the lane width is relevant evidence and may be relied on to prove that fact.
