What does 'evidence', under the Indian Evidence Act, 1872, mean?
1. Statements in relation to matters of fact under inquiry which the court permits or requires to be made before it by witnesses
2. Documents produced for the inspection of the court including electronic records
Select the correct answer using the code given below.

According to Section 3 of the Indian Evidence Act, 1872, the term "Evidence" is defined to include two specific categories:

• Oral Evidence: All statements which the Court permits or requires to be made before it by witnesses, in relation to matters of fact under inquiry.
• Documentary Evidence: All documents, including electronic records, produced for the inspection of the Court.

The phrase "including electronic records" was inserted into the definition of documentary evidence by the Information Technology Act, 2000. Since Statement 1 correctly defines oral evidence and Statement 2 correctly defines documentary evidence as per the Act, both are correct. While the Indian Evidence Act, 1872 has been replaced by the Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam, 2023 (effective July 1, 2024), the fundamental classification of evidence remains consistent with these descriptions.
