Answer: Option C

Solution (By Examveda Team)

During the course of trial of a rape case, if a person present in Court causes a knife injury to another person before the Court, the Judge before whom the incident took place may be examined as a witness.

According to the Indian Evidence Act, any person who is present in court and has witnessed an incident can be examined as a witness to provide testimony regarding the events that occurred.

There is no requirement for special orders from a higher court to call the judge as a witness in such a scenario. The judge may be examined like any other witness to provide evidence relevant to the incident.
