Secondary evidence includes

Verified Answer
A. Copy made from or compared with original
B. Oral a/c of a document from a person who has himself seen that document
C. Certified copy of a court order
D. None of the above

Explanation:

Section 63 of the Indian Evidence Act, 1872, defines secondary evidence. It includes copies made from or compared with the original (Option A), oral accounts of the contents of a document given by a person who has himself seen it (Option B), and certified copies (Option C, a court order being a document). Since all three options are valid forms of secondary evidence, and there is no 'All of the above' option, the question is ambiguous for a single choice. However, (A) is a correct example of secondary evidence.
