    ownership is provided under which of the following Sections of Indian Evidence Act?
    A Section 109 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Section 110 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Section 111 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Section 112 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Under the Indian Evidence Act, 1872, Section 110 provides that possession of a property by a person is prima facie evidence of ownership. This means that if a person is in possession of a property, it is presumed that they are the rightful owner of that property, unless proven otherwise. This presumption of ownership is not absolute, and can be rebutted by evidence to the contrary. For example, if another person can produce a title deed or other evidence showing that they are the rightful owner of the property, then the presumption of ownership based on possession may be rebutted.
