<h1>Section 151 of Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam, 2023: Court's Discretion on Compelling Witnesses to Answer Credibility Questions</h1> Section 151 of the Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam, 2023, addresses the court's discretion in determining whether a witness should be compelled to answer certain questions. If a question is irrelevant to the case but may affect the witness's credibility by harming their character, the court decides on compulsion. Proper questions are those that could significantly impact the court's view of the witness's credibility. Improper questions relate to remote or minor issues or disproportionately affect the witness's character compared to the evidence's importance. The court may infer an adverse answer from a witness's refusal to respond.
