Explanation

Primary evidence is the original document itself presented before the Court.

Secondary evidence includes certified copies, reproductions, or oral accounts of the document’s contents.

Explanation

Oral evidence is generally admissible for facts in a case, but not for the contents of a document. The contents of a document must be proven by primary (the original document itself) or, in specific circumstances, secondary evidence.

Article 70 of the Qanun-e-Shahadat Order, 1984, explicitly states this exclusion. It says, "All facts, except the contents of documents, may be proved by oral evidence".

The document is the best evidence of its own contents. This is a fundamental principle of evidence law. Oral testimony about what a document says is not considered reliable or admissible, as documents speak for themselves. 

Explanation

This statement is false because in civil cases, character can be relevant if it helps establish the probability of conduct.

In criminal cases, the accused’s good character is indeed relevant to credibility and sentencing.
