For which of the following documents oral evidence cannot be given to remove any ambiguity?
Verified Answer
A. Documents in reference to existing fact
B. Documents which need attestation by attesting witnesses
C. Documents containing illegible characters, provincial or local expressions
D. A 'will' to which the Indian Succession Act, 1925 applies
Explanation:
Sections 91 and 92 of the Indian Evidence Act, 1872, generally prohibit the admission of oral evidence to contradict, vary, add to, or subtract from the terms of a written document, especially when the document is a contract, grant, or other disposition of property. A 'will' is a formal disposition of property. While oral evidence can be given to explain ambiguities in certain contexts (Sections 95, 98), it cannot be used to alter the clear terms of a will or other formal disposition of property.
