    Solution

    As per Section 60 of the Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam, 2023 , primary evidence means the original document itself produced for the inspection of the court. This is the best form of evidence, and no secondary evidence can substitute it unless exceptions under Section 61 apply. This is a continuation of the principle under Section 62 of the old Indian Evidence Act, 1872.
