    forgery and communicated it to B, his wife. After some time divorce took place between A and B, and B married C. In a charge against this forgery prosecution wants to produce B as a witness against A. Can they do so?
    A They can do so as B is now married to C Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B They can do so as forgery is an offence against public policy Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C They cannot do so as B is bound not to be a witness against A under privileged communications Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D They cannot do so as B has now nothing in common with A and is a third party Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    It is a privileged communication. A privileged communication is a conversation between two parties that is legally classified as a private discussion. This discussion is legally protected, and so cannot be disclosed to third parties.
