    Adhiniyam, 2023? 
    A To govern the procedure for appeals Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B To consolidate laws relating to evidence Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C To amend criminal procedure Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D To replace IPC Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E To regulate family laws Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    The Bhartiya Sakshya Adhiniyam, 2023 was enacted to consolidate, modernize, and streamline the laws governing evidence in Indian legal proceedings. It replaces the Indian Evidence Act, 1872 and incorporates modern elements such as electronic records and digital signatures. The primary aim is to provide a unified and updated statutory framework dealing with the admissibility, relevance, and treatment of evidence in both civil and criminal matters. This consolidation ensures legal certainty and coherence, keeping pace with technological advancements. The Act does not deal with appeals, family law, or criminal procedures directly, making “B” the correct and most comprehensive option.
